AutomationDirect SR33-160 motor drive or starter
In plain English
What it does
SR33-160 is the drawing identifier for motor drive or starter in AutomationDirect's Soft Starters collection. A motor drive or starter controls the operation of its connected motor in the way stated by the selected equipment documentation. Its electrical behaviour is not defined by the enclosure outline.
A simple example
For example, in a microgrid installation with a plant panel controlling a fan or pump motor, use the SR33-160 reference to coordinate power terminals, control interfaces, ventilation and service access. Show the neighbouring equipment and the connection route so the installer can understand the intended arrangement.
What the drawings help you do
Use the reviewed native drawing identified as Drives-Motors-Motion/Compact Soft Starters/SR33-160.dwg for the exact physical details. Locate the named file in its original manufacturer archive. Manufacturer drawing previews are shown only when an exact approved source is available. Any illustrative 3D view is a separate concept and is not to scale; use the selected manufacturer documents for dimensions, ratings and installation details.
- Drawing identity
- The named manufacturer drawing used to identify the intended physical configuration.
- Interface
- The place where this part mounts, connects or meets another selected part.
- Service space
- The area needed to reach, disconnect or remove the selected equipment as instructed.
Before using this reference
- Match SR33-160, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Coordinate the motor cable route separately from control wiring.
- Coordinate power terminals, control interfaces, ventilation and service access with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

How to read it
- Keep power terminals, control interfaces, ventilation and service access visible in the layout.
- This reference concerns the named SR33-160 drawing and its motor drive or starter role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.
Information to show or reference
- Match SR33-160, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Coordinate the motor cable route separately from control wiring.
- Coordinate power terminals, control interfaces, ventilation and service access with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.
A distinction that matters
This reference concerns the named SR33-160 drawing and its motor drive or starter role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.
