Schneider Electric SAO12 Three-Phase Magnetic Starter

Schneider Electric's SAO12 three-phase magnetic starter is a NEMA Type S, nonreversing, three-pole motor starter in Size 00 designed for direct-on-line starting of small industrial motors. It provides 1.5 HP at 200–230 VAC and 2 HP at 460–575 VAC, with a 9 A rating, making it suitable for light industrial control panels and MCCs requiring simple on/off control of 3‑phase loads. Coil voltages vary by variant, with common options including 24 VAC and 220/240 VAC to match typical control circuits. The SAO12 family is intended for robust, full‑voltage starting of three‑phase motors and supports standard Type S accessories and mounting configurations for easy integration into existing control schemes.
