Abstract:
A motor control center for housing a starter assembly, comprising:(a) at least two overload relays, each said overload relay having a separate reset element for resetting its respective relay from an open circuit to a closed circuit; (b) a mechanism for substantially simultaneously resetting each of said at least two overload relays, said mechanism including: (1) a retractable member having a contact member adjacent each said reset element, said retractable member upon application of force adapted to move between a first non-contact position to a second contact position, wherein said contact member comes in contact with each of said overload relay reset elements when moved from the first non-contact position to the second contact position to reset each of said overload relays; and (2) a retraction device for moving said retractable member from the second contact position to the first non-contact position upon release of a force from said retractable member.
