Used Starters

Types of Used Motor Starters at JM Industrial

Broadly speaking, there are three types of starters: manual, digital, and electromagnetic. Starters comprise two main components — contactors and overloads. We offer a variety of used industrial starters for sale with varied features, capacities in HP, and configurations. They are NEMA certified. Here are some of the types of electrical motor starters we offer:

• Digital soft starters: Programmable solid-state reduced voltage devices with keypads and LED indicators. They offer protection against single-phase current, overcurrent, and more.
• Electromagnetic starters: Commonly used for AC motors in high-power applications. They provide low-voltage starting, protection against voltage fluctuation and overcurrent, remote operation, and automatic switching.
• Manual starters: Simple on/off switch-based devices operated manually. Most include overload protection but may not protect against low voltage.

How to Choose the Right Starter

1. Identify Motor Requirements: Voltage, horsepower, and current ratings are essential.
2. Determine Starter Type: Select between manual, magnetic, reduced voltage, or soft starters based on your application.
3. Match Phase: Ensure compatibility with single-phase or three-phase systems.
4. Check Environmental Conditions: Consider dust, moisture, and hazardous area ratings.

Applications of Used Electrical Starters

• Trains
• Automobiles
• Cranes
• AC & DC motors
• Industrial machines
• Water and fluid pumping units
• Machining and fabrication units
• Spinning mills
• Shunting and variable speed motors
• Lathe, press, and rolling mills

Why Buy Used Motor Starters

• Affordability: Even advanced used starters are cheaper than new ones. Surplus units are often nearly new and available at reduced prices. Depreciation on used starters is also significantly lower.
• Availability: Most used starters are in stock and ready for immediate shipping.
• Eco-friendliness: Choosing used equipment reduces carbon footprint by saving resources and energy otherwise needed to manufacture new units.
• Reduced downtime: No waiting period for delivery means less downtime and reduced production losses.

If you have a manufacturing unit and require a good quality starter at an affordable price, you can invest in a used electrical starter. JM Industrial is a reliable supplier of used starters and many other types of industrial equipment including disconnects, electrical transformers, variable frequency controllers, and more. We perform quality tests on all starters before shipping. Our aftersales team is available to answer questions even after installation.

FAQ’s

Q1. Do used starters come with overload protection?

Yes. Many used starters include overload relays, but it’s important to confirm the relay type and settings match your motor requirements.

Q2. Can I use a starter with any motor?

No. Starters must match the motor’s voltage, horsepower, phase, and application requirements. Compatibility should always be checked.

Q3. Do used starters come with a warranty?

Many of our used starters include limited warranty or guarantee terms. Please check individual product details or contact our team for specifics.
