Deliver a burst of electrical energy for a short time to boost power to motors and other equipment

Remove ridges and other imperfections from commutators without taking a motor out of service

File down contacts on electrical components such as spark plugs and switches for clean connections

Check gaps and alignment between machine parts and other surfaces

Grip and twist the lever to turn circuits on and off, preventing accidental actuation

Ensure that machines stay turned off to prevent accidents during maintenance work

Replace motor brushes on small DC motors

Adjust motor positions in belt-driven systems to increase efficiency and reduce wear on components

Upgrade your motor starter protector to use less energy and emit less heat

Combine with a thermal overload element to build a starter that can handle high-current-rated motors

Shut motors off if current exceeds the full-load current rating

Turn motors on and off and protect them from current overloads

Turn motors, lighting, and electric heat circuits on and off

Protect electric motors by cutting power when faults occur

Electrically open and close circuits to control power to lights, motors, and other equipment

Turn machinery on or off after receiving an electrical signal that starts the timer
