Repco stocks replacements for many starters and motors that have been obsoleted by the manufacturer.

Orders for stock items placed before 3:00PM EST are shipped the same day they are received.

If the starter is less than one year old, the answer is probably yes. However, most product warranties are for a period of one year. If the unit is out of warranty, then there is no warranty to void. If the starter is less than one year old and the contacts have burned and/or worn down, then perhaps you should call the OEM representative and ask him to visit your facility and install a new set of contacts in the item under warranty.

No contacts are NEMA certified. The smallest item in the controller that can be certified is the complete contactor. However, the component parts of the contactor, such as the coil, contacts or hardware are not certifiable according to any existing NEMA standards.
