There are some applications where it is not desirable to dis-
connect the motor from the line during voltage depression.
These applications are generally those associated with a

Standard fuses supplied with Limitamp CR194 Control are

where motor full-load current plus service factor does not
exceed 320 amperes, but they must be specified by the
customer. The blown fuse indicator and the anti-single-phase
trip are available with bolt-in fuses only.

GE Limitamp® Medium Voltage Motor Control
Typical Elementary Diagrams
This diagram shows starter with the isolating switch in the disconnect position and the test power interlock in the test position.
To test: Handle must be in the disconnect (OFF) position, and test-normal selector switch (located in the low voltage compartment)
must be in the TEST position. Purchaser is to connect his test power to the proper terminals and note that the control circuit is not
grounded when disconnects are open. Be sure to turn the test-normal switch to NORMAL before moving the disconnect handle to
the ON position.
CPI — Opens only when CPI release on isolating switch handle is pushed in. Can not be opened when main line contactor is closed.
s — Start and stop push buttons are wired through terminal at “TB” in order that remote START-STOP buttons can be readily
connected into the circuit when required.
n — At a terminal on “TB”, a loop in the CT secondary circuit wire permits insertion of a hook on ammeter for measuring line current.
— Device furnished by others — mounted remote.
— Terminal board point.
