Overview
The Square D 8536SC03V02S is a Class 8536 Type S NEMA Size 1 magnetic motor starter engineered for full voltage starting and stopping of AC squirrel cage motors. This non-reversing starter delivers reliable electromechanical control in industrial automation applications, featuring a 27-amp continuous rating at 600VAC and a 110/120V AC coil for independent control circuits. The unit comes new in box, tested and ready for installation.
Key Features
- Three-pole non-reversing design for straightforward motor starting/stopping without reversibility
