Square D 8538SBA23V02S Combination Starter 5 Hp 600V

Product Description

The SQUARE D 8538SBA23V02S is an enclosed NEMA combination starter designed for three-phase motor control applications requiring reliable short-circuit protection and motor switching in a single packaged assembly. Rated at 18 continuous amps and 600 VAC, this non-reversing starter is built to handle 5 hp three-phase motors. It provides 30 amp short-circuit protection and is housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure, which guards against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and falling dirt. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers for this class of combination starter.

This combination starter is suited for commercial and light industrial motor control applications where a NEMA 12 enclosure rating is required. Typical install scenarios include machine tools, conveyor systems, pump panels, and HVAC equipment rooms where dust and occasional liquid drip exposure is a factor. The three-pole, non-reversing configuration makes it appropriate for standard across-the-line motor starting on 600 VAC three-phase power systems. It ships as a single packaged unit and is intended as a replacement or new-installation starter in panel and disconnect configurations.

Key Features

• 18 continuous amp rating supports 5 hp three-phase motor loads at 600 VAC
• 30 amp short-circuit protection integrated into the combination starter assembly
• NEMA 12 enclosure provides protection from dust and non-corrosive dripping liquids
• Three-pole, non-reversing design for standard across-the-line motor starting
• RoHS compliant construction
• NEMA starter type for straightforward replacement and standardized sizing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation combination starter for three-phase, 600 VAC motor control circuits requiring a NEMA 12 enclosed, non-reversing starter rated at 18 amps continuous and 5 hp.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the panel before removing an existing starter or wiring the new unit. Verify that the supply voltage, motor horsepower, and phase configuration match the starter ratings prior to energizing. Do not exceed the continuous amp or short-circuit protection ratings of this unit.
