CR306G002AEA GE Three-Phase Motor Starter, NEMA Size 5, 270A, 600V

Trying to figure out if the CR306G002AEA is right for your equipment? This is a General Electric three-phase motor starter, a device that turns a motor on and off while protecting it from overload. It is built to NEMA Size 5, meaning it is designed for larger three-phase motors, and rated to handle 270 amps continuously at up to 600 volts. The unit combines a magnetic contactor that does the switching with a thermal overload relay that senses excess current and shuts the motor down before it is damaged.

Common Applications

  • Turning large three-phase motors on and off, such as pumps or compressors
  • Protecting motors on conveyors and material handling equipment from overload
  • Replacing an existing starter in a control panel or motor control center
  • Facility maintenance projects that call for a specific GE Size 5 starter
  • General industrial and commercial three-phase motor circuits

Key Features

  • Handles large motors: NEMA Size 5 rating built for bigger three-phase loads, up to 270A.
  • Built-in overload protection: Trips the circuit if the motor draws too much current, resets manually.
  • Adjustable trip point: Trip level fine-tuned plus or minus 10 percent to match your motor.
  • Own control voltage: Coil uses a separate 115-120V circuit, not wired to the motor line voltage.
  • Ready for panel mounting: Open Type unit, mounts inside a panel or enclosure.
  • Wired connections included: Pressure-type terminals in place for line and load wiring.

FAQ

What does this part do?
It switches a three-phase motor on and off and protects it from running overloaded, in one unit.

Is this the whole thing I need?
This is an Open Type unit, meant to mount inside a panel or enclosure. If you do not have one, you will need one in addition to this starter.

Does it reverse the motor?
No, this is a non-reversing starter, running the motor in one direction only. Reversing versions exist under a different GE line.

What voltage does the control circuit use?
115-120V at 60 Hz (110V at 50 Hz), separate from the higher voltage running through the motor.

How much does it weigh?
Approximately 55 lbs, based on the manufacturer's published estimate for this frame size.

What does the AEA suffix mean?
It indicates a factory-added auxiliary contact option. If you need an exact contact configuration for a control drawing, reach out and we will help confirm it.
