Abstract
A combination motor control device includes a power circuit structured to sense voltage and/or current flowing through the combination motor control device, a semiconductor switching and interruption circuit including a number of solid state transistors and being operable to turn on to allow power to flow through the combination motor control device and to turn off to stop allowing power to flow through the combination motor control device, and a control circuit structured detect faults in power flowing through the combination motor control device based on the sensed voltage and/or current, to control the semiconductor switching and interruption circuit to provide a motor starter and/or motor controller functionality, and to control the semiconductor switching and interruption circuit to turn off in response to detecting a fault in power flowing through the combination motor control device.
