Square D 2510FG2 Manual Starter 1HP 277VAC 16A NEMA 1 Toggle Switch

Description

Features

• Part of the dependable Square D Type F product family, this 2-pole manual starter is engineered to deliver reliable full-voltage on/off control for single-phase fractional horsepower motors. It carries a continuous current rating of 16 Amps at up to 277V AC or 230V DC, making it ideal for managing small industrial or commercial exhaust fans, localized fluid pumps, and material handling conveyors up to 1 HP at 115V AC and 2 HP at 230V AC.
• This manual starter features a dedicated melting alloy thermal overload block positioned between the incoming line and the load. It uses one Type F standard thermal unit (ordered separately to match the specific motor full-load current) to continuously track electrical heat buildup. If a mechanical jam forces a prolonged overcurrent condition, the melting alloy block releases the spring-loaded mechanism, dropping the motor off the line before insulation damage occurs.
• Housed in a rugged, surface-mounting NEMA Type 1 general-purpose sheet steel enclosure, this starter is built strictly for indoor utility spaces. The wrap-around metal cover protects internal electrical components from accidental physical impacts, light airborne dust, and personnel contact, making it a perfect fit for dry, indoor commercial HVAC equipment closets, mechanical rooms, and light manufacturing workshops.
• This model features a classic, heavy-duty toggle switch actuator that provides distinct mechanical confirmation of contact state. The over-center, trip-free toggle mechanism cannot be forced closed against a persistent thermal overload fault condition, ensuring that the internal contacts remain open and completely isolated until the internal thermal unit has cooled sufficiently and the toggle is manually reset.
• The NEMA 1 enclosure base features pre-formed conduit knockouts positioned at both the top and bottom to facilitate rapid wire pulls. Equipped with large, accessible screw clamp terminals that safely anchor solid or stranded copper conductors, this starter layout simplifies field installations and ensures a high-torque, vibration-resistant termination that minimizes local resistance.
• Carrying formal CSA certification and a complete UL Listing, this Schneider Electric device satisfies all stringent safety codes across Canada and the United States. Its standardized manual starting blueprint ensures a predictable, cost-effective local motor management interface, giving independent municipal and provincial inspectors a clear, straightforward pathway to grant final site sign-offs.
