Square D 55450 Motor Starting Switch Class 2510 Type KG-2

Square D 2510KG2 is a Class 2510, KG-2 Type manual motor starting switch from Square D (Schneider Electric) designed for on-off control of motors and resistance heating loads up to 600 VAC. This three-pole unit provides manual operation with no integrated overload protection (overload protection provided separately) and comes in a NEMA 1 enclosure with a toggle actuator and no indicator. The switch is rated for 30 A continuous current, with horsepower ratings that depend on supply voltage: about 2 HP at 115 VAC, 7.5 HP at 230 VAC, and up to 10 HP at 460–575 VAC (three-phase). As part of the 2510 Class family, KG-2 represents a compact, non-intelligent motor starter suitable for installations that require a dedicated manual starter within a broader protection scheme. Typical applications include control of small to mid-size three-phase motors or resistance-heating loads in industrial equipment, conveyors, fans, and pumps where a simple manual start/stop control is adequate and separate motor protection is provided upstream. The 2510KG2 designation identifies this exact three-pole, 30 A manual motor starter compatible with other Square D 2510-series components in standard control schemes.
