Schneider Electric 8536SBO1V02 Soft Start Controller

Schneider Electric's Square D 8536SBO1V02S is a compact NEMA motor starter (Size 0) from the Type S family, configured as a nonreversing, 2‑pole device with a 120 VAC coil. It is rated for 18 A at 230 VAC (about 2 HP) and carries a 5 kA SCCR, with an open, nonenclosed form factor designed for panel mounting in tight control rooms. This melting alloy overload version provides motor protection for single‑phase applications, making it suitable for small fans, conveyors, or machine tools where space is at a premium. The 8536SBO1V02S features a 2‑pole, 1‑phase arrangement that integrates with standard Square D motor control schemes and offers robust, straightforward control for compact industrial installations. As a Square D/Schneider Electric device, it remains compatible with the broader Square D 8536 motor starter ecosystem and common control lineups used in light‑duty automation tasks, delivering reliable protection and control in panel‑mounted applications.
