Square D 8736SBG-5 Reversing Magnetic Starter

Square D by Schneider Electric 8736SBG-5 is a three‑pole reversing magnetic starter in the NEMA Type S family, designed for forward, stop, and reverse control of 3‑phase AC motors at full voltage. As part of the Type S reversing starters, it is typically implemented as a reversing combination that interlocks a Class 8502 contactor with a Class 8536 starter to provide safe, single‑direction operation; these units are manufactured in accordance with NEMA standards and UL listed. The 8736SBG‑5 incorporates a melting‑alloy overload protection device and is offered in multiple coil voltage configurations to match common control circuits, with horsepower and current ratings that vary by coil voltage and configuration. This style is well suited for equipment where motor direction must be changed on demand, such as conveyors, pumps, and fans, and is commonly installed in indoor control panels or NEMA Type 1 enclosures, compatible with standard forward/reverse wiring and control schemes from pushbuttons to PLCs.
