### 2. Core Electronic & Electromechanical Parts
#### A. The Magnetic Coil (V06 Suffix)
The suffix **V06** defines the electrical characteristics of the electromagnetic coil.
* **Voltage Rating:** 440V AC @ 50Hz / 480V AC @ 60Hz.
* **Function:** When energized, the coil creates a magnetic field that pulls the power contacts closed, allowing current to flow to the motor.
* **Maintenance:** The coil is replaceable. If the voltage applied does not match the V06 rating, the coil will either chatter (under-voltage) or burn out (over-voltage).
#### B. Power Contacts
* **Material:** Usually silver-cadmium oxide or similar alloys for high conductivity and arc resistance.
* **Function:** These are the heavy-duty "switches" that carry the 45A load.
* **Configuration:** 3 Normally Open (N.O.) poles.
#### C. Thermal Overload Protection
* **Type:** Melting Alloy (Bimetallic options available depending on the specific block).
* **Thermal Units:** This starter requires **3 Thermal Units** (Heaters) to be installed separately to function as a motor protector.
* **Mechanism:** It monitors the heat generated by the current. If the current exceeds the set limit for too long, a mechanical link trips the control circuit to stop the motor.
#### D. Auxiliary Contacts
* **Standard:** Usually comes with one Normally Open (N.O.) auxiliary contact (holding circuit).
* **Expansion:** You can add additional side-mounted or top-mounted auxiliary blocks for signaling (e.g., to a PLC or pilot light).

### 4. Wiring and Control Connection
The device features heavy-duty screw terminals:
1. **L1, L2, L3:** Line inputs (incoming power).
2. **T1, T2, T3:** Load outputs (to the motor).
3. **A1, A2:** Coil terminals (where the 480V control signal is applied).
