Square D 8736SC08S Motor Starter NEMA Size 1 600V

Square D 8736SC08S is a NEMA Type S motor starter, Size 1, designed for reversing control of a three‑phase motor on systems up to 600 V. It belongs to Square D’s 8736 family, which standardly combines a Type S contactor with a starter block in an interlocked assembly for forward/reverse operation, a configuration historically built from a pairing of the 8502 contactor and the 8536 starter. The 8736SC08S is cataloged in Series A configurations as a reversing motor starter, reflecting its role in bidirectional motor control within compact control panels. Typical applications include pumps, fans, conveyors, and other small to mid‑size three‑phase loads where reversing action is required, and it is designed to integrate with the broader Type S ecosystem and compatible control circuits. When configuring a full motor‑protective solution, owners commonly pair a suitable overload relay with the 8736SC08S to provide motor protection and coordinated control, aligning with Square D’s approach to modular, interlocked motor starters.
