An enclosed motor starter refers to a type of motor starter packaged within a single, self-contained unit. This unit comprises various components that collaborate to safely initiate and halt a motor's operation. Enclosed motor starters are engineered to offer a comprehensive motor control solution, often incorporating features such as short-circuit protection, ground fault protection, and overload protection.

The main types of enclosed motor starters are metal shell and plastic shell variants. A metal shell-enclosed motor starter utilizes a metal casing to house the electrical components. This type of starter is renowned for its durability and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and extreme temperatures. The power sources include alternate current and direct current, catering to commercial and industrial applications. Sales channels for these starters include direct sales and distributors, primarily serving the automotive industry, oil and gas sector, power plants, and manufacturing units.
