Best Answer

A motor starter is a specialized relay designed to control the main power to an electric motor, typically in an industrial setting such as on a large air compressor. Large electric motors demand more current that a typical off/on switch could be rated for and safely used with. A starter allows for a small switch, either manual or automatic, to control the motor by switching a smaller voltage than the motor itself uses. This has several advantages. It also typically contains overload/overheat protection for the motor being controlled.
