This is to protect your motor should there be a bad bearing or something that might slow your motor down without burning up the motor. this magnetic is used at line voltages so be careful. most industrial starters now used - use a separate control circuit at either 24 volts or 120 volts ac.

The compressor is in my garage at home. I have 220 in my garage. I'm not sure I know what you mean by three phase. I have two large wires (hot) coming into the main breaker and a common. RUSTY
