Schneider Electric 2510KR1 Motor Starting Switch

Schneider Electric 2510KR1 is a manual motor starting switch (Type K) designed for simple on/off control of small single-phase motors. This two-pole device is rated at 20 A and delivers up to 3 horsepower at 575 VAC, with a toggle actuator and no pilot indicator, making it a compact, maintenance-friendly control in industrial environments. It is offered in a NEMA 7 & 9 enclosure with a single conduit opening, suitable for installation where hazardous location exposure is either present or managed by the enclosure. As a standalone manual starter, overload protection must be provided separately, aligning with use cases such as service disconnects, maintenance switches, or primary motor control in pumps, fans, conveyors, and other machinery. The KR1 model specifies a 2-pole configuration for 575 VAC circuits, delivering reliable isolation and control while keeping wiring straightforward. For applications requiring other voltage levels, pole counts, or integrated protection, Schneider Electric's 2510 family includes additional variants; however, the 2510KR1 focuses on two-pole, single-phase operation with a toggle action and standard NEMA ratings.
