Schneider Electric 8736SCO8V02S Reversing Starter

Square D by Schneider Electric 8736SCO8V02S is a NEMA Type S reversing starter (Size 1) designed for full‑voltage control of 3‑phase motors in a compact, open‑enclosure package. This horizontal, 3‑pole, 3‑phase device provides forward and reverse operation to reliably swap motor direction, with a 27 A rating and up to 10 HP at 575 VAC. The unit uses a 120 VAC coil (110–120 VAC variants are available in the broader family) and carries a 5 kA SSCR short‑circuit current rating, paired with melting alloy overload protection to guard the motor against overcurrent conditions. Engineered for panel mounting where an external protective housing is used, it remains an accessible, serviceable starter with straightforward wiring for control circuits and motor leads. Typical applications include small‑to‑mid‑size conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools requiring direction reversal, where a robust, field‑reliable reversing starter is preferred over separate contactor assemblies. As part of the 8736 Type S family, this reversing starter delivers proven Square D performance and compatibility with standard 575 VAC motor circuits, making it suitable for industrial control panels and equipment where compact, full‑voltage reversing control is needed.
