Replacements for Allen-Bradley Bulletin 500 NEMA starters

Allen-Bradley Bulletin 500 NEMA starters for AC motors have been an industry favorite for years and are represented in a wide range of applications. Repco equivalent replacements for sizes 00-5 are ready for immediate delivery from stock. Like the starters themselves, Repco has earned a reputation for dependability and value to electrical distributors looking to offer lower-cost options and build relationships with their customers. Repco stocks replacements for current series starters and those that have been obsoleted by the manufacturer.
