Abstract
The Switchgear unit, especially a motor starter, has a contactor and a power switch for short-circuit protection. The additional function of overload protection envisaged for the switchgear unit is integrated in an overload relay that is configured separately from the power switch. The components thereof extend into free areas formed by the arrangement of the contactor and power switch as standard components on a support.
