Square D 8536SBO2V02H30S Open Starter 120 VAC

The Square D 8536SBO2V02H30S is a NEMA Type S motor starter, open enclosure, Size 0, with a nonreversing 3‑pole configuration rated for 18 A and driven by a 120 VAC control coil. Part of the Square D 8536S line with Motor Logic, this open starter is designed for direct control of three‑phase motors in compact control panels or machine setups. It carries a high SCCR rating of up to 100 kA for safe operation in demanding environments and supports motor loads up to 5 HP at 460 VAC. Because it ships as an open starter, it is intended to be mounted within a panel or paired with a separate enclosure as required by the installation. The model number encodes size 0, 3 poles, 120 VAC coil, and open/starter configuration, making it easy to identify among compatible Square D starters. Typical applications include start/stop control for small to mid‑size motors in machine tools, conveyors, fans, pumps, and other automation equipment where a compact, nonreversing starter is appropriate.
