Question 237Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is B) Combination starter. A combination starter is the proper name for the entire device shown in the illustration EL-0181. It includes all the necessary subassemblies, such as a magnetic contactor, overload relay, and a disconnecting means, to provide complete motor control and protection. The other options are incorrect because: A) A safety disconnect switch is a separate component that isolates the power supply, not the complete motor control assembly. C) A magnetic contactor is a single component within the combination starter, not the entire device. D) A magnetic starter is an older term that refers to the same type of device as a combination starter.
