Great for protecting older motors
Put it on a legacy motor setup at our shop. Gave a clean trip when the mount got loose. Easy to test and reset too. If you need a low-cost safety add-on, this one’s a good pick."
Does the job, old-school style
It’s a basic switch but very reliable. No fancy digital stuff, just mechanical and works every time. Only wish the wiring terminals were a bit easier to access. Otherwise happy with it.
Simple, tough and dependable
Installed this on a pump that’s known to rattle like crazy—works like a charm. Tripped exactly when it was supposed to. We’ve tested a few models before but the 366-A8 just holds up better. Rugged build, no nonsense.
