Depending on your exact suffix letter (e.g., 16FE35AH vs 16FE35AG), the sub-components vary:
- Coil Voltage: Typically available in 480V AC (indicated by suffix codes like
AH) or other industrial configurations like 120V / 240V.
- Enclosure Type: Often sold as Open Type (no control box, meant for panel mounting) but can be housed in custom NEMA 1 (indoor general purpose) or NEMA 3R/4/12 control boxes.
- Overload Protection: Definite purpose starters traditionally utilize compatible thermal melting alloy or bimetallic overload heater elements to monitor phase currents
