Square D 2510KG2 Manual Motor Switch, 30A, 3 Pole, 10HP at 575VAC, NEMA 1 Enclosure

Description

Features

• This Type K manual motor starting switch features a robust 3-pole configuration designed explicitly for high-power, multi-phase systems. It acts as a direct, unified controller that connects or disconnects all three hot lines simultaneously, ensuring balanced electrical distribution and preventing dangerous single-phasing events across downstream 3-phase motors.
• Engineered for high-capacity power delivery, this 30A continuous-duty switch operates flawlessly at up to 600V AC. It delivers an impressive 10 hp rating at 460-575V AC (and up to 7.5 hp at 230V AC), giving facility managers and plant electricians the exact heavy-duty capacity required to operate industrial ventilation fans, production conveyors, and heavy processing pumps.
• Housed inside a painted sheet-steel surface-mount box, this switch comes fully enclosed in a NEMA 1 general-purpose protective shell. This rugged casing protects internal contacts from workplace dust, airborne debris, and accidental tools-in-hand contact in commercial workshops, mechanical rooms, and production floors, while pre-punched 0.5-inch and 0.75-inch knockouts simplify conduit routing.
• Featuring a high-torque, non-reversing industrial manual toggle operator handle, this starter provides immediate, positive tactile feedback when switched. The heavy-duty "ON/OFF" toggle switch ensures non-fumble, clear-state operation even for workers wearing thick industrial safety gloves, providing an unmistakable visual status of the machine's running condition from a distance.
• This Type K switch functions as a direct disconnector designed for applications where overload protection is not required or is provided by an independent upstream device. By focusing purely on reliable, uninhibited on/off circuit control, it avoids the nuisance thermal tripping caused by fluctuating ambient temperatures in hot plant environments, saving hardware space and reducing upfront costs.
• Equipped with industrial-grade screw clamp terminals, this switch ensures an enduring, low-resistance connection that accepts solid or stranded copper conductors from 14 AWG up to 10 AWG. The heavy-duty backing screws maintain tight compression over time, preventing localized electrical resistance heating and loose wire connections caused by persistent machinery vibration.
