Square D 8536SCO3S Soft Starter

Square D 8536SCO3S is a NEMA Type S, non-reversing three‑pole motor starter in a Size 1 frame that pairs magnetic starting with integrated overload protection for compact motor control. It uses a 110/120 V AC coil (Series A) and is rated for up to 27 A at voltages up to 600 VAC, making it suitable for motors up to about 10 HP at 460 V (and 7.5 HP at 230 V). This starter is designed for standalone operation or for use with separate coil power when a dedicated control source is available, delivering reliable startup with built‑in thermal overload protection. Common industrial applications include pumps, fans, conveyors, and small compressors where straightforward on/off control and motor protection are required in a compact Size 1 package. Built as a three‑phase, non‑reversing starter, the 8536SCO3S integrates a robust control circuit with a melting‑type or equivalent thermal overload relay, providing a practical, space‑efficient solution for protecting and controlling smaller motors in legacy and new installations alike.
