Request a quoteQuestions about this part
Where can I buy a GE DA501 manual motor starter?
Z Power Electric quotes the DA501 on request. Legacy GE industrial control parts are a core part of what we source — they turn up in surplus and new-old-stock inventory long after the standard channel stops listing them.
Is the DA501 the same as a current-production starter?
Not necessarily. Frame size, enclosure, and heater selection all changed across GE's manual starter lines. Send the nameplate from the unit you are replacing and we will confirm what actually drops in rather than what merely shares a catalog family.
Do you carry heaters and replacement parts for the DA series?
Ask on the request. Heaters, contact kits, and operator handles for legacy starters are sourced the same way as the starter itself, and it is usually cheaper to source them together.
