Square D 2510MBW2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size motor will the Square D 2510M manual starter handle on 3-phase power?
The 2510M is a NEMA Size M-0 integral horsepower starter rated for 3 HP at 200-230VAC and 5 HP at 380-575VAC, three phase. It is a non-reversing starter, so it gives On-Off control plus overload protection only, not forward/reverse.
2) Can I use a 2510M manual starter on a 480V motor circuit?
Yes. The 2510M is rated 600VAC operational voltage across its 3 poles, so a 480V three-phase feed is within rating. At 380-575VAC it covers motors up to 5 HP.
3) What wire size can I land in a Square D 2510M starter?
Terminals accept AWG 14 through AWG 8 copper conductors. If your motor feeder is larger than #8, you need a larger starter or a transition to a junction point ahead of the device.
4) Will the 2510M drop out if the power fails and restart the motor when power returns?
No low-voltage protection on this one. The 2510M is a manual starter with push-button On-Off, so the contacts stay mechanically closed through a power loss and the motor can restart when voltage returns. If your application requires low-voltage protection or release, use a magnetic starter with a holding coil instead.
5) Is the Square D 2510M acceptable for a UL-inspected industrial control panel?
It is UL Listed under File E42243, CCN NLRV, and CSA Certified under LR60905, Class 3211 05. That covers the usual AHJ and panel-shop documentation requirements for a manual motor starter in an industrial or commercial installation.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Square D 2510M manual motor starter from another brand?
The nearest peer is the Leviton MS303-DSW, an industrial grade 3-pole 600V AC 30A 3-phase manual motor controller. It matches the 2510M on the two specs that usually decide the swap: 3-pole configuration and a 600V rating. The Square D 2510M is a NEMA Size M-0 non-reversing integral horsepower manual starter with push-button On-Off control and built-in overload protection, so if the panel drawing calls for overload protection in the starter itself, confirm that is how the Leviton is being applied before substituting.
7) I only need to start a fractional horsepower motor - is there a smaller option than the Square D 2510M?
Yes. The ABB CR101 series is a fractional HP manual motor starter, sized for motors below one horsepower. The Square D 2510M is an integral horsepower starter rated 3 HP at 200-230VAC and 5 HP at 380-575VAC three-phase, so it covers a larger motor range than a fractional HP unit. Pick by the motor nameplate: fractional loads suit the CR101, and motors into the 3 to 5 HP band need the integral horsepower 2510M.
8) My panel is built to IEC standards - what should I use instead of the Square D 2510M?
The 2510M is a NEMA Size M-0 starter, sized to the NEMA frame scheme. For an IEC-built panel the peers are the Eaton XT IEC rotary manual motor protector with Class 10 trip and the ABB MS132 3-pole manual motor protector from the MMP A-Range. Both are IEC-style manual motor protectors with rotary actuation, where the 2510M uses push-button On-Off control. The 2510M is 3-pole and 600VAC rated and UL Listed with CSA certification, so it remains the straightforward choice where the specification is written to NEMA sizing.
9) How much panel space do I need for a Square D 2510M starter?
Plan on 10.34 in by 5.13 in by 5.78 in. Check that against your back-panel layout and door swing before you commit the location, especially in a shallow enclosure.
10) Does the 2510M starter have a pilot light to show the motor is running?
No indicator on this version. It is the plain push-button configuration with no local signaling, which keeps the cost down. If your operators need run indication, you will need a separate pilot device in the enclosure door.
11) Manual motor starter or IEC manual motor protector, which do I need?
A NEMA manual starter like the 2510M is horsepower-rated with thermal overload and simple On-Off push-button control, sized by HP and voltage. IEC-style manual motor protectors, such as the ABB MS132 MMP A-Range or the Eaton XT IEC rotary with Class 10 trip, are set by FLA current range and rotary-operated, and are usually chosen for narrower DIN-rail panel builds. Pick NEMA when the spec calls out horsepower sizes and a push-button operator; pick IEC when the drawing calls out an amp setting range.
12) What else could I use for simple 3-phase 600V manual motor control besides the Square D 2510M?
The Leviton MS303-DSW is a 3-pole, 600V AC, 30A industrial grade three-phase manual motor controller, so it covers the same 600V three-phase switching duty. The difference to confirm is overload: the 2510M is an integral horsepower starter with thermal overload protection built in, so if you are relying on the device for motor overload rather than just disconnect-and-switch duty, that is the deciding point.
13) Can a Square D 2510M starter be used in a washdown or outdoor location?
Only in the right enclosure. The 2510M platform has a NEMA 4/4X glass polyester degree of protection available, which is what covers hosedown and corrosive areas. The starter itself must be installed in that rated enclosure, not mounted open.
14) Is the ABB MS132 a drop-in substitute for the Square D 2510M since both are 3-pole?
Not a drop-in. The MS132 is a 3-pole manual motor protector in ABB's MMP A-Range, an IEC-frame device, while the 2510M is a NEMA Size M-0 integral horsepower manual starter measuring 10.34 in high, 5.78 in deep and 5.13 in wide with push-button On-Off operation. Mounting footprint, actuator style, and the frame scheme the enclosure and wireway were laid out around all differ, so treat it as a redesign of the panel section rather than a direct swap. The 2510M accepts AWG 14 through AWG 8 copper conductors.
15) I need a defined overload trip class on the motor protection - what are my options next to the Square D 2510M?
The Eaton XT IEC rotary manual motor protector is specified with a Class 10 trip, which is the one in the comparable group stated by trip class. The Square D 2510M provides overload protection with On-Off push-button control as an integral horsepower NEMA Size M-0 starter, 3-pole at 600VAC, and is UL Listed and CSA Certified. If the engineer's schedule calls out a trip class on the device, work from the Eaton; if the schedule calls for a NEMA-size manual starter with overload protection, the 2510M answers it.
16) Will the Leviton MS303-DSW reverse a motor the way I need, or do I need something different from the Square D 2510M?
Neither is described as a reversing device. The Square D 2510M is specifically a non-reversing manual starter with push-button On-Off control, so it provides start and stop only. The Leviton MS303-DSW is an industrial grade 3-pole 600V AC 30A 3-phase manual motor controller. If the application requires forward and reverse, a non-reversing manual starter is not the right device class and the control scheme needs a reversing arrangement instead.
17) Will a 2510M work for a small fractional horsepower fan motor?
It will carry it, but it is more device than you need. The 2510M is an integral horsepower starter sized up to 3 HP at 200-230VAC. For fractional HP loads, a fractional horsepower manual starter such as the ABB CR101 Series is the closer match and takes less panel space.
18) What is the exact part number and where is the Square D 2510M made?
Order as Square D 2510MBW2, from the 2510M series of manual motor starters. Country of origin is Mexico, which is often needed for procurement and domestic-content documentation.
