Schneider Electric (Square D) 8536SBO2V02S 120V 3P Open Full Volt Starter

The Schneider Electric (Square D) 8536SBO2V02S is a 120-volt, 3-phase, open full voltage starter intended for operating AC squirrel cage motors in a variety of industrial and commercial settings. For manual start and stop, the starter usually has a push button or toggle switch. A magnetic contactor is activated when the start button is pressed, energising a coil inside the starter. By directly connecting the motor to the entire line voltage, this contactor functions as a switch and enables the motor to run. Thermal overload relays that keep an eye on the motor's current consumption are included into the starter. The relays automatically trip, de-energizing the contactor and stopping the motor to avoid overheating and possible damage, if the current exceeds safe limits for a prolonged amount of time.
