Square D 8501CO6V24 General Purpose Relay 2 Hp Spst

Product Description

The SQUARE D 8501CO6V24 is an electromechanical general purpose relay designed for industrial and commercial control circuit applications. Rated at 2 HP and 10 VA, it handles up to 10 amps at 600 volts and 40 amps at 277 VAC. The coil operates on 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, making it compatible with standard North American power systems. The single-pole single-throw (SPST) contact configuration suits switching applications where one circuit needs to open or close based on a control signal. Screw clamp terminals provide a secure, vibration-resistant wire connection. Licensed electricians and industrial controls technicians are the typical installers for this relay.

This relay fits replacement and upgrade roles in motor control panels, HVAC control circuits, lighting contactors, and general industrial automation systems. The SPST contact form makes it appropriate for on/off switching tasks in equipment that requires a reliable, low-voltage control signal to operate a higher-load circuit. At 0.56 pounds, it is compact enough for installation in standard enclosures and panel boards. Its broad voltage and amperage ratings cover a range of single-phase commercial and light industrial loads.

• RoHS compliant and meets IEC 60947-4-1 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement general purpose relay for industrial control panels and HVAC equipment requiring a 240 VAC SPST electromechanical relay with screw clamp terminals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the control panel before removing or installing the relay. Verify that coil voltage and contact ratings match the existing circuit requirements before wiring. Screw clamp terminals should be tightened to the terminal manufacturer specification using an appropriate flat-blade screwdriver.
