Schneider Electric (Square D) 8536SAG12V02S 3-Pole Motor Starter 9A 120V NEMA 1

The Schneider Electric (Square D) 8536SAG12V02S is a 120V, 9A, 3-pole, non-reversing motor starter housed in a NEMA 1 general purpose container. This starter controls the starting and halting of three-phase electric motors up to two horsepower at 460 volts. In commercial and industrial contexts, it is widely used. In order to commence the starting process, a low-voltage signal 120V in this case is received by a separate control circuit installed in the starter. The starter connects the motor to the full line voltage by turning on a contactor, which functions as a heavy-duty switch, in response to the control signal. Additionally, an overload relay built inside the starter continuously checks the amount of current going to the motor.
