A Complete, All-in-One Motor Control Solution
Combination starters provide necessary function in any large power distribution system. Combination starters are found in multiple different applications to control motor loads such as: pumps, motors, etc… A combination starter provides four important functions in motor control all into a single enclosure: Motor starter, line disconnect functions, short circuit protection, and mechanical protection.
Combination starters can provide the user with a starter (contactor), thermal overload, short circuit protection, and a means of disconnect into a single NEMA rated enclosure. These panels offer short circuit protection in the form of a manual motor starter, circuit breaker, or fusible disconnect. In addition, push buttons, indicator lights, and other accessories are available to customize as needed. Combination starters are extremely versatile since they are also highly modifiable and come in a variety of configurations, combinations, and designs. We offer NEMA sizes 1 – 5 and IEC based on full load amps.
MCXP can provide solutions for a wide range of applications:
In industrial and commercial power systems, reliable motor control is essential to both safety and performance. A combination starter integrates multiple control and protection functions into one enclosure—offering a compact, dependable solution for a wide range of motor-driven applications. These assemblies simplify installation, reduce wiring complexity, and ensure that every motor operates under the right protective conditions.
A well-designed unit brings together all the key functions that technicians and operators depend on: starting, disconnecting, short-circuit protection, and thermal overload protection. By combining these into one enclosure, facilities gain a safer, cleaner, and more efficient motor control system.A combination starter brings together several key components—motor starter, disconnecting means, thermal overloads, and short-circuit protection—so that operators have a reliable, consolidated system for controlling motor loads. This simplifies installation, reduces wiring complexity, and improves long-term reliability in demanding industrial settings.
Integrated Safety and Performance Features
Each assembly merges four essential motor-control elements into one streamlined design: motor starting, disconnect capability, short-circuit protection, and thermal overload protection. This creates a self-contained, ready-to-install package that minimizes space requirements while maximizing operational safety.
Contactor and Motor Starter
The contactor handles the heavy lifting—providing smooth, consistent switching and long-term durability even under frequent use. MCXP Solutions uses only industrial-grade components built for performance and longevity.
Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal overload relays prevent motor damage by sensing excessive current draw. When overheating or a locked rotor occurs, the relay disconnects the motor automatically, protecting equipment from unnecessary wear or failure.
Short-Circuit and Disconnect Protection
Each unit includes short-circuit protection through a manual motor starter, circuit breaker, or fusible disconnect. The integrated line disconnect isolates power completely, giving technicians a safe way to perform maintenance without exposure to live circuits.
