Schneider Electric 8536SAO12S Industrial Motor Starter With Overload

Schneider Electric's Square D 8536SAO12S industrial motor starter with overload is a three‑pole, NEMA Size 00 Type S starter that combines direct motor control with a melt‑in overload relay and a B4.15 heater for reliable protection. This SAO variant uses a 240 VAC coil and is designed for non‑reversing operation in standard three‑phase circuits, making it suitable for small to mid‑size motors in light industrial equipment. The unit is rated for about 9 A and delivers roughly 1.5 HP at 230 VAC (and 2 HP at 460 VAC), enabling direct on‑line starting for motors such as pumps, fans, conveyors, and similar load profiles. As part of the Square D 8536 family, it is intended to be integrated with matching overload components and control circuitry to ensure coordinated protection and dependable startup in industrial environments.
