Franklin Electric BAS1-9/P-G2.5-40 Motor Starter 3ph

Product Description

The FRANKLIN ELECTRIC BAS1-9/P-G2.5-40 is a three-phase manual motor starter rated for use with motors up to 1.5 HP. It operates across a wide voltage range of 200 to 600 VAC at 50/60 Hz and carries a 2.5 amp trip current setting. The unit is housed in a Type 1 enclosure, making it suited for indoor electrical panels and motor control applications. With interrupt ratings of 100/65/25 kAIC depending on system voltage, this starter provides coordinated short-circuit protection. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers for this class of device.

This starter is designed for three-phase motor circuits in commercial and light industrial settings. Rated full load amperage (FLA) values are listed at 2.4, 2.2, 2.1, and 2.4 amps across supported motor configurations, accommodating 1/2 HP, 1 HP, and 1.5 HP motor loads. The compact form factor and Type 1 enclosure rating make it a practical choice for use inside motor control centers, enclosed panel boards, or disconnect assemblies in dry indoor locations.
