I have a 1HP motor being fed with a 15A, 208V-2P breaker.
Need to specify a thermal switch at the motor. Smallest I can find is 30A-2P. Is that suitable for this motor? My concern is that the overload protection will be oversized.
Also, manual motor starter is same thing as thermal switch right?
Thanks,
Mike
