14BP32BF81 - Siemens Magnetic Starter

The Siemens 14BP32BF81 Magnetic Starter delivers steady motor protection in a simple, easy-to-manage design. This three-pole starter is built for indoor installations where reliable performance matters day after day. It includes a Class 14 contactor paired with an ambient-compensated bimetal overload relay, which automatically adjusts for temperature shifts—keeping your system safe without unnecessary interruptions, and is installed in a NEMA 1 enclosure. With a 9-amp rating, it handles motors up to 2 horsepower at 480 volts AC, making it a smart fit for light industrial, commercial, and residential use where dependable motor control is essential. This setup includes a 45 VA control transformer that steps the voltage down from 460 volts AC to 115 volts AC to accommodate the 115V coil in the starter.
