Allen-Bradley 709-BOD Motor Starter, 120v Coil, NEMA Size 1

Allen-Bradley 709-BOD Motor Starter, 120V coil, NEMA Size 1, is a direct-on-line motor starter in the Bulletin 709 family designed to switch small three-phase motors in industrial control panels. The unit uses a 120V AC control coil to energize the starter, applying line voltage to the motor for straightforward on/off operation and offering a compact, robust control solution that fits standard panel layouts and wiring practices. Common applications include conveyors, fans, pumps, and other light-to-moderate‑duty machinery in manufacturing and processing environments, where the NEMA Size 1 form factor supports mounting in conventional enclosures and compatibility with typical control circuits. This starter is intended for 3‑phase motor loads and is commonly used in legacy or retrofit installations that require a proven, open‑style, line‑voltage starter component within a 709‑series control scheme. For reliable operation, pair the 709‑BOD with appropriate overload protection and control circuitry that complies with local electrical codes and the plant’s safety standards. The 120V coil makes it compatible with standard low‑voltage control wiring used throughout many industrial cabinets, enabling straightforward integration with switches, pushbuttons, and relays already present in the control system. In short, the 709‑BOD offers a compact, dependable solution for starting and stopping small three‑phase motors where a traditional, open‑type starter is suitable.
