Square D 2510FG1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size motor can the 2510F toggle starter handle?
Up to 1 HP single-phase, at 115V, 230V or 277V AC, with a 16A line rated current. Anything above 1 HP or any polyphase load is outside what this starter covers.
2) Does the Square D 2510F manual starter give overload protection, or is it just an on-off switch?
It does both. The toggle gives manual On-Off control and the starter carries overload protection sized for fractional horsepower motor circuits at its 16A line rating. That is the difference between this and a plain motor-rated toggle switch: if the motor draws too much current, the starter trips.
3) Can I mount the 2510FG1 starter outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The enclosure is NEMA 1, general purpose plastic, for indoor surface mounting only. A NEMA 1 box has no protection against rain, dust or hose-down, so a wet, dusty or outdoor location needs a higher rated enclosure type.
4) I need to protect a three-phase motor, not single phase. What should I use instead of the 2510FG1?
The 2510FG1 is a 1-pole starter for single-phase fractional horsepower motors, so it will not serve a three-phase load. For three phase, use a three-pole device such as the ABB MS132 3-pole manual motor protector, the Eaton XT IEC rotary manual motor protector, or the Leviton MS303-DSW 3-pole 600V AC 30A three-phase manual motor controller.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Square D 2510FG1 manual starter from another brand?
The ABB CR101 series fractional horsepower manual motor starter is the nearest counterpart. Both are fractional-HP manual motor starters intended for small single-phase motor circuits, which is what the 2510FG1 covers with its 1-pole, 16A, toggle-operated design in a NEMA 1 plastic enclosure rated to 277V AC.
6) My motor draws more than 16 amps and runs at 480V. Can I still use the Square D 2510F?
No. The 2510FG1 is rated 16A with a 277V AC operational voltage, so a higher-current or higher-voltage circuit is outside its range. The Leviton MS303-DSW is rated 30A at 600V AC and is an industrial grade device, which suits larger and higher-voltage motor circuits.
7) How much wall space does the Square D 2510F starter enclosure take up?
The enclosure measures 4.25 in height, 2.44 in width and 2.75 in depth, so it fits tight spots next to a motor or on a column. Allow for the conduit entries, which are 0.5 in and 0.75 in knockouts on the top and bottom.
8) What wire size can I land in the 2510FG1 starter terminals?
The terminals accept AWG 14 to AWG 12 copper conductors. If your branch circuit is run in anything heavier, you will need a junction or pigtails to transition down before entering the starter.
9) Is the Square D 2510F manual starter approved for use in Canada?
Yes. The 2510F is UL Listed (File E42243, CCN NLRV) and CSA Certified under LR25490, Class 3211 05, so it is acceptable on both sides of the border. Country of origin is Mexico.
10) Does the 2510FG1 come with a pilot light to show the motor is running?
No pilot light. Model 2510FG1 is supplied with a plain toggle operator only. If your maintenance crew needs a visual run indication at the starter, you need a different model within the 2510F family that includes an indicator.
11) Should I use a fractional HP manual starter like the 2510F or an IEC manual motor protector?
Pick the 2510F when you want a simple toggle On-Off with overload protection for a single-phase motor up to 1 HP, already in its own NEMA 1 surface enclosure, feeding a fan, conveyor, pump or small machine tool. An IEC rotary manual motor protector such as the Eaton XT IEC with Class 10 trip, or the ABB MS132 in the MMP A-Range, is the choice when you are building into a panel, need 3-pole protection, or want an adjustable trip setting. ABB's CR101 series is the closer like-for-like fractional HP manual starter if you are matching another brand on site.
12) Can I use the Square D 2510F starter on a 277V lighting-voltage circuit for a fan motor?
Yes, 277V AC is within rating. The starter is rated for 115V, 230V and 277V AC with a Ue rated operational voltage of 277V AC, so a single-phase 277V fan or exhaust motor up to 1 HP is a valid application.
13) Is an IEC manual motor protector like the Eaton XT a drop-in substitute for the Square D 2510F?
They are not interchangeable. The Eaton XT IEC unit is a rotary-operated manual motor protector with Class 10 trip, typically DIN rail or panel mounted within an assembly, while the 2510FG1 is a toggle-operated starter supplied in its own NEMA 1 plastic surface-mount enclosure measuring 4.25 in high by 2.44 in wide by 2.75 in deep. Swapping one for the other changes the operator type and the mounting method.
14) Which of these manual starters comes ready to mount on a wall without a separate enclosure?
The Square D 2510FG1 ships in a NEMA 1 general-purpose plastic enclosure for indoor surface mounting, with 0.5 in and 0.75 in knockouts top and bottom. The ABB MS132 and Eaton XT IEC are manual motor protectors in the IEC style, which are normally installed inside a panel or assembly rather than mounted on an open wall.
15) Can the 2510F manual starter reverse a motor?
No. It is a non-reversing configuration, so it only switches the motor on and off. Reversing duty needs a reversing starter or a drum switch.
