People Electric · Autotransformer Motor Starter
Product overview
People Electric XJ01 starting boxes use an autotransformer to reduce the voltage applied during infrequent motor starts. The enclosed assembly incorporates contactors, a thermal relay and a time relay. Match the documented starter size to the motor nameplate, load characteristics and permitted starting duty.

Selection is limited to the 14–300kW models explicitly tabulated in the manufacturer catalogue. The introductory 400kW upper range is not added as an undocumented option. Confirm actual motor current, start duration/frequency, tap selection, thermal-relay/CT coordination and the complete supplied configuration before order.
Typical applications
- Reduced-voltage starting of three-phase industrial squirrel-cage motors.
- Infrequent motor starts where an enclosed autotransformer starter matches the load and supply.
