Hey all.
Just throwing a question out on equipment pricing.
Needed to replace a 10hp 240v 3 phase starter today.
Couldn't get it from one supplier who didn't have anything with 24v coil.
Went to another supplier who gave me the contactor with coil, separate bolt in heater part, and a plastic enclosure. It was an Italian manufacturer.
This starter was $600. I asked for my own head what a sq.d or cutler hammer in a metal enclosure costs. He looked it up and said $900 something.
Also this starter was size 2 and is rated up to 30 hp.
I mentioned it seamed like overkill ( I needed 10hp) he mentioned the size 1 is rated up to 7.5 hp.
It's been a few years since I've purchased starters. Does this info and pricing sound about right?
(I didn't purchase the starter as the person I put it in for paid......just curious).
Thank you
Rich
