Allen-Bradley 709-AOD731 Motor Starter

Allen-Bradley 709-AOD731 motor starter is a compact, Rockwell Automation device designed to start and protect small motors in industrial control panels. This 709-series starter uses a 110–120 VAC coil, aligning with typical North American control power supplies and 60 Hz circuits. As a Bulletin 709 motor starter, it supports direct-on-line starting within the 709 family and integrates with Allen-Bradley’s motor-control ecosystem, including overload protection configurations. For suppression in 120 VAC coil configurations, Rockwell’s literature lists the 1401-N10 suppressor as a commonly used accessory. When wiring and commissioning, verify the nameplate for the exact current rating and overload configuration to ensure compatibility with the motor’s full-load current and the control circuit’s voltage. The 709-AOD731 variant is commonly encountered in legacy Allen-Bradley installations and remains a practical spare part or replacement in service inventories, with compatibility depending on the motor’s rating and the system’s control logic.
