Why it Matters

Complete motor control in one unit
Direct-on-line starting connects a motor straight to the supply at full voltage, giving maximum starting torque. This starter packages the contactor, adjustable thermal overload and control push-buttons together, so a three-phase motor up to 4kW can be started, stopped and protected from a single enclosure. The adjustable 4-6A overload trips on excess current to guard the motor against damage, and the clearly marked reset button lets an operator restore the circuit after a trip without opening the unit.

Weatherproof and tough
The IP66 enclosure is protected against dust and powerful water jets, and the unit operates across an ambient range of -25 to 75°C. That makes it well suited to exposed plant, pump sets and outdoor machinery where equipment faces the elements. Screw terminals accept both solid and stranded conductors for a secure connection, and at 204mm high by 101mm wide with a 1.42kg net weight, it mounts neatly onto walls, posts and plant.

Australian-standard control
Manufactured to AS/NZS 3133 and AS/NZS 3100, this 56 Series starter meets Australian requirements for industrial switchgear. The clearly marked start, stop and reset push-buttons give straightforward operation, and the grey enclosure is a familiar sight across industrial and utility installations. As a mains-connected control device, it should be installed by a licensed electrician.

What size motor does the Clipsal 56DOL9/6-GY suit?
It is rated for three-phase motors up to 4kW at 415V, with a rated operational current of 9A.

Does it include overload protection?
Yes. It uses an LRD10 thermal overload relay with an adjustable setting range of 4-6A to protect the connected motor.

Is the starter suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The IP66-rated enclosure resists dust and high-pressure water, and it operates from -25 to 75°C, making it suitable for exposed installations.
