Schneider Electric 2510FO1 Three Phase Motor Starter

Schneider Electric 2510FO1 is a manual motor starter (fractional horsepower) designed for local on/off control of small motors. This open-style, single-pole device is toggle-operated and rated at 16 A, delivering 1 HP at 277 VAC, with no indicator. It belongs to Schneider Electric’s Class 2510 family of manual starters and is intended for mounting in control panels where a simple, user-operated starter is required. The FO1 designation identifies a 1-pole unit, suitable for straightforward motor-control circuits, typically used alongside protective devices and other control components in basic motor-start applications. Because it is an open-style starter, it is not enclosed for ambient protection; ensure proper installation in an appropriate panel or enclosure per local electrical codes. The 2510FO1 provides direct local control of a small motor, enabling you to start and stop the load from a nearby switch while relying on system wiring and upstream protections to manage inrush and fault conditions. When selecting a starter for a project, verify voltage compatibility, current rating, and compatibility with any downstream contactors or overload protection in the control scheme.
