A motor starter device having an elongated base provided with power poles acted upon by a contactor part and a protection part. The base houses power current linesand their control mechanism. Two movable linkages () are associated with the mechanism, namely a first linkagecontrolled by the electromagnet in the contactor partand a second linkagemoved by the tripping devicein the protection part or by the manual control button. The linkages actuate signaling contactsstaggered on different levels, these contacts being housed in removable blocks A, B, added onto the housing in a fixed part C subjacent to the housing.

Motor starter device

Apparatus for motor protection and control including power conductors including poles with separable contacts, a trip mechanism connected to an electromagnet, a mechanical device, a connecting strip and a manual control button, a protection device including means for detecting currents flowing through the power conductors and means for generating an initiating signal to control the trip mechanism, the electromagnet and the mechanical device, wherein the mechanical device is for actuating the separable contacts and the connecting strip, and the manual control button is for actuating the mechanical device, wherein the mechanical device includes means for automatically resetting the trip mechanism after the trip mechanism has tripped and means for returning the mechanical device to an OFF position.
