6.2 Connection
The manual motor starter can be supplied either from the bottom or from the top (for non-UL applications).
6.2.1 Connection Types
The manual motor starter is available with the following types of connection:
− Screw terminals
− Push-in Spring terminals
Push-in Spring terminals allow conductors to be easily connected directly. The special contact spring allows easy insertion and
guarantees a good contact quality.
