Schneider Electric 2510FG5P FHP Manual Motor Starter

Schneider Electric's Square D 2510FG5P FHP Manual Motor Starter is a compact, 1-pole device rated for 16 A and 1 HP at 277 VAC, designed to manually start small fractional-horsepower motors. It features a guarded toggle operator with a red indicator light and comes in a NEMA 1 enclosure suited for indoor control panels. The starter includes an integral melting alloy overload relay, providing motor protection without a separate overload module, and is commonly used in control-panel circuits to start or stop small AC motors, often in conjunction with a contactor for higher horsepower applications. As part of the 2510FG series, the FHP designation identifies fractional horsepower performance, making this unit suitable for motor loads up to 1 HP with a maximum current of 16 A, in compact form factors that fit typical panel layouts. It provides local control for small motors, offering straightforward manual start/stop with overload protection.
