The Multiquip 940228 Motor Starter 1 Phase is a genuine OEM component designed for the MS-40H and MS-40M masonry saws. As an OEM part sourced directly through the Multiquip parts network, it meets the original electrical specifications of your saw's motor control system, ensuring proper startup sequencing and overload protection. This starter is a direct-fit replacement for MS-40H and MS-40M machines, eliminating guesswork and keeping your saw operating to the performance standard it was built for. DHS Equipment supplies this part backed by Multiquip OEM authenticity, so you can install with confidence.
Key Features
- Correct Single-Phase Electrical Rating — Matched to the single-phase motor circuit of the MS-40H and MS-40M, ensuring proper amperage handling and compatibility with the saw's power system.
- Genuine OEM Component — Produced to the original Multiquip specification, maintaining the same overload trip characteristics and contact ratings as the factory-installed unit.
- Direct-Fit for MS-40 Series Masonry Saws — Engineered as a drop-in replacement for MS-40H and MS-40M models, connecting directly to the existing wiring harness and mounting points.
- Motor Overload Protection — A functioning motor starter safeguards the saw's electric motor from thermal overload during demanding cuts, preventing burnout and unplanned equipment failure.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — Proper motor starter function is critical to safe equipment operation; a failed or incorrect starter can cause uncontrolled motor behavior or failure to shut down under fault conditions.
A motor starter controls the initial energizing of an electric motor and provides continuous overload protection during operation. In a single-phase masonry saw like the MS-40H or MS-40M, it manages the inrush current at startup and monitors running current to prevent the motor from overheating under load. When a motor starter fails or is incorrectly rated, the saw may refuse to start, trip unexpectedly during cuts, or — in the worst case — run unprotected against thermal damage that can destroy the motor entirely.
