Hey All,
I have a couple of questions on this topic and I hate to hijack it but ....because I'm doing the same right now and this is the first I have heard of a motor/starter protector.

I just ordered a generator head and a motor.
I have a VFD that I was going to control the motor connected to the generator head.

Am I missing something important?

Here is the best I can contribute on the topic
I'm using a plug and outlet from these guys.
They have standard for a wide range of voltages and amps.
