Square D 8538SBG11V02S Nema Combination Starter 18A 600V

Product Description

The SQUARE D 8538SBG11V02S is a three-pole, enclosed NEMA combination starter rated for 600 VAC and 18 continuous amps. It is designed for non-reversible motor control applications and ships in a NEMA 1 enclosure suitable for general-purpose indoor installations. Combination starters integrate a disconnect means and a motor starter in a single enclosure, reducing panel space and simplifying wiring. This unit is RoHS compliant and built to NEMA standards, making it a code-friendly choice for commercial and light industrial motor circuits. Licensed electricians and motor control specialists are the primary installers for this type of equipment.

This combination starter is suited for three-phase motor control in commercial HVAC systems, pump applications, compressor circuits, and similar industrial or building-automation loads. With a 600 VAC rating and 18-amp continuous capacity, it handles motors in the 3 hp to 5 hp range at common three-phase supply voltages. The NEMA 1 enclosure makes it appropriate for clean, dry indoor environments such as mechanical rooms, equipment closets, and electrical panel areas. It is intended for non-reversing duty cycles only.

Key Features

• 18-amp continuous rating supports 3 hp and 5 hp three-phase motor loads
• 600 VAC voltage rating compatible with standard commercial three-phase supply
• Three-pole, non-reversible configuration for straightforward motor control
• NEMA 1 enclosed design for general-purpose indoor installations
• Meets NEMA standards and is RoHS compliant
• Combination starter design integrates disconnect and starter in one enclosure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style NEMA combination starter for three-phase, non-reversing motor control circuits operating at up to 600 VAC in commercial and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the supply circuit before mounting or wiring the unit. The NEMA 1 enclosure is rated for indoor use only and must be protected from moisture, condensation, and contaminants. Verify motor full-load amperage against the starter rating before energizing the circuit.
