Abstract
A combination relay-starter electrical device is adapted for connection in circuit relation with a winding circuit of a prime mover. The electrical device has a pair of terminal means adapted for the connection in the circuit relation with the prime mover winding circuit, and coil means adapted for electrical energization. Means arranged in magnetic coupling relation with the coil means is operable generally for switching between a circuit completing position and a circuit interrupting position upon the energization of the coil means, and means is provided for housing the terminal means, the coil means and the switching means. A solid state device associated with the housing means is connected in circuit relation between the switching means and one of the terminal means so as to be de-energized when the switching means is in its circuit interrupting position. Another electrical device is also disclosed.
