Schneider Electric 2510KR1 Manual Motor Starter

Schneider Electric's Square D 2510KR1 Manual Motor Starter is a two‑pole, non‑reversing manual switch (Type K) designed to start and protect small AC motors in industrial and commercial settings. Housed in a rugged NEMA 3R/7/9 enclosure with a toggle operator, it is rated for up to 600 VAC or 230 VDC and carries a 30 A current rating (3 HP at standard voltages, depending on service). As part of the 2510 KR family, the KR1 variant provides straightforward on/off control while delivering robust protection for the motor being started. Typical applications include fans, pumps, conveyors, and machine tools where reliable manual start/stop control is required in environments that may expose equipment to moisture, dust, or hazardous atmospheres, thanks to the enclosure ratings. The KR1 designation identifies a non‑reversing 2P starter within the Square D 2510 line, offering a compact, easy‑to‑install solution when a simple manual option is preferred over magnetic starters or more complex controllers. For installations needing pilot indicators, different current or voltage ratings, or alternative enclosure options, Schneider Electric and its distributors provide other 2510 family variants that fit a range of motor sizes and duty cycles.
