Excerpt from British Standard Specification for Starters for Electric Motors (Face-Plate Type): Suitable for Motors Not Ordinarily Requiring to Be Started More Than Twice Per Hour After considerable discussion of certain definite proposals put forward in the first instance by the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association, a general classification and definitions oi the various types Of motor starters was agreed upon. As the ground covered by the complete series of starters was very large, it was decided, in order that the work Of this Panel might be available for use as soon as possible, to publish the complete classifications and a separate Specification for each type, the separate Specifications being afterwards combined, if found practic able, in one or more groups. The first type to be dealt with is the Face-plate Rheostatic Starter, that being the one used in largest numbers at this present time.
