I know that NEMA starters are broken into sizes according to motor HP, and a 50HP motor will require a size 3 starter.
My question is weather or not you can use a larger starter such as a size 4 starter on such a motor as long as the breaker and overloads met the the requirements of 430? Can a larger size contactor be used as long as breaker and overloads were sized per the motor?
