Schneider Electric 2510-KO-2 Motor Starting Switch

Schneider Electric's Square D 2510KO2 manual motor starting switch is a 3-pole, toggle‑operated device designed for direct on/off control of a three‑phase motor. It is rated for 30 A and 10 HP at 575 VAC, enabling reliable starting and stopping of motor loads while keeping current draw within typical industrial circuits. This open‑style unit is delivered without an enclosure and without an indicator lamp, making it suitable for installation inside an appropriate control panel or as a standalone disconnect in non‑enclosed applications. As part of the Schneider Electric 2510 series, the KO2 provides a compact, robust solution for applications where overload protection is provided separately by a separate device or protective circuit. Typical uses include industrial machinery control, pumps, fans, and conveyors where a simple, local means to start and stop a three‑phase motor is required, and where a dedicated overload protection device handles motor protection. This switch supports manual operation, offering straightforward, maintenance‑friendly control without complex electronics, and can be integrated with other 2510 line components to build a versatile motor control scheme.
