Overview
Square D 8536 SEG-2 is a Class 8536 Type S NEMA Size 0 three-phase motor starter designed for full voltage starting and stopping of AC squirrel cage motors up to 600VAC. Type S NEMA motor starters are used for full voltage starting and stopping of AC squirrel cage motors. This used unit provides reliable motor control with thermal overload protection suitable for industrial automation and machinery applications.
Key Features
- NEMA Size 0 Class 8536 Type S Configuration: NEMA Size 0 motor starters have 3 phase ratings of 3 HP at 200 and 230 VAC and 5 HP at 460 and 575 VAC.
- Three-Phase 18 Ampere Rating: This 3 pole NEMA Size 0 non-reversing starter has an 18 ampere rating.
- Thermal Overload Protection: Non-reversing NEMA motor starter has a melting alloy type overload relay that uses Type B thermal units to sense over current conditions.
- Replaceable Coil Design: Type S motor starters are available with replaceable coils in a wide variety of voltages.
