Overview
The Allen-Bradley 500F-BO*930 motor starter is a Bulletin 500F feed-through contactor designed for reliable AC magnetic motor control in industrial automation applications. As a NEMA Size 1 device, it delivers proven performance in equipment where compact footprint and modular construction are essential. This used unit is fully functional and offers cost-effective replacement or spare capacity for existing motor control panels.
Key Features
- NEMA Size 1 open-type contactors with feed-through design for top-wired connections
- Three power poles (3P) for three-phase motor control applications
- 27-amp full load amperage rating at 600V AC for reliable switching
- 120V AC coil standard configuration for general-purpose control circuits
- Modular construction allows pairing with overload relays, auxiliary contacts, and surge suppressors
- AC magnetic technology eliminates need for DC components in AC motor circuits

Compatibility & Replacements
The 500F-BO*930 integrates with Rockwell Automation’s Bulletin 500/500F/509 ecosystem. Direct replacements include other Size 1 feed-through contactors from the 500F line with matching coil voltage and power ratings. Auxiliary contacts, overload relays, and surge suppressors are available separately to customize the unit for specific panel designs. Always verify coil voltage and FLA requirements before ordering replacement units. For integration questions or custom configurations, consult Rockwell Automation ProposalWorks or contact an authorized distributor.
