Abstract
A releasable combination of a separable starter device and a separable protector device adapted for connection in circuit relation with a dynamoelectric machine. A PTCR (positive temperature coefficient resistor) in the starter device and a switch means in the protector device are adapted for association in thermal coupling relation when the starter device and the protector device are in the releasable combination thereof. One of the starter device and the protector device includes yieldable means extending generally circumferentially about at least a major circumferential portion of a part of the other of the starter device and the protector device for releasable engagement therewith so as to releasably maintain the starter device and the protector device against separation from the releasable combination thereof. A method of assembling a releasable combination of a starter device and a protector device is also disclosed.
