Schneider Electric 2510KR2 Motor Starting Switch

The Schneider Electric Square D 2510KR2 is a three-pole manual motor starting switch designed to start and stop three-phase motors, packaged in a rugged NEMA 7/9 enclosure for safe use in hazardous or restricted locations. It belongs to the Class 2510, Type K family and uses a toggle-operated operator with a compact, cast aluminum enclosure that withstands demanding industrial environments. This KR2 variant is rated for up to 600 VAC, commonly listed at 20 A for three-phase service (with some catalogs showing higher ratings for other KR2 configurations), making it suitable for light-to-medium motor loads in applications such as pumps, conveyors, fans, and other industrial equipment where a local start/stop control is required without integrated overload protection. Optional accessories include a handle guard/lock-off for safe servicing, and standard configurations offer protection to NEMA 3R/7/9, enabling use in both indoor and outdoor installations as part of a broader Schneider Electric motor control solution.
