Issue:
Are the GV2 Manual starters suitable to be used on single phase applications?

Product Line:
IEC Contactors and Starters

Environment:
GV2 Manual motor starters

Cause:
These units show single phase ratings, but are set up for three phase applications

Resolution:
These units need to see current across three poles to operate properly.  If only one or two legs are wired for a single phase application, the unit will trip as it will think that a phase has been dropped.  Thus, either a hot leg or the neutral must be looped through the otherwise unused pole so that all three poles are being used.
