Square D 8536SAG12V08 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Motor FLA rating of the Square D 8536S Size 1 starter do I order for my motor?
Pick the rating that brackets your motor nameplate full-load amps. The Type S NEMA Size 1 nonreversing starter is offered in 9A, 18A, and 27A FLA versions, covering a 9A to 27A span overall: 8536SAG12V08 for 9A, 8536SBG2V02S for 18A, and 8536SCG3V02S for 27A. The starter body and horsepower rating are the same across all three; what changes is the thermal overload sizing, so order against the nameplate amps, not the horsepower alone.
2) Will a Square D Type S Size 1 starter run a 10HP 480V motor?
The Type S NEMA Size 1 nonreversing starter is rated 10HP at 460VAC, which is the nameplate rating for standard 480V three-phase distribution. It's also rated 10HP at 575VAC and 7.5HP at 200VAC and 230VAC. It's a 3 pole, 3 phase full-voltage starter for AC squirrel cage motors.
3) Can this Square D starter reverse a motor for a hoist or conveyor?
No. The 8536S Type S is a nonreversing starter, single direction only. Reversing needs two interlocked contactors; for a three phase reversing application ZenSupply carries the Eaton Freedom Series three-phase reversing IEC starter with a C306 overload relay instead.
4) What control voltage does the coil on the 8536S Type S starter use?
The standard coil is 120VAC 60Hz, so it works off a typical 120V control circuit from a transformer or separate control source. A 110VAC 50Hz coil version is also made. Nothing is built into the cover as a control station: the unit ships without control units and without a pilot light, so the start/stop station is a separate order.
5) Can I mount the Square D 8536S NEMA 1 starter outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The enclosure is NEMA 1 painted sheet steel, which is general purpose indoor only, no protection against rain, dust or hose-down. Outdoor, wet or dusty locations need a NEMA 3R, 4 or 12 enclosed starter, or you can panel-mount an open type unit inside a suitably rated box.
6) What short circuit current rating does this starter have, and is that enough for my panel?
The Type S Size 1 starter carries a 5kA SCCR. If the available fault current at that point in the system exceeds 5kA, the starter has to be series-rated with an upstream protective device that brings it within rating, or you need a higher-SCCR assembly. Check the fault current calculation for the branch before you set it.
7) Is the Square D 8536S motor starter UL Listed and TAA compliant for a government job?
Yes on both. The Type S starter is UL Listed, CSA Certified, NEMA rated, and TAA compliant. Country of origin is Mexico, which is a designated country under TAA. Note it is not RoHS compliant to the EU directive, which matters only if the assembly is destined for Europe.
8) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Square D 8536S-AG12V08 NEMA Size 1 nonreversing starter?
The Eaton Freedom A200 non-reversing motor starter is the nearest match in another brand: it is also a three-pole, non-reversing NEMA-style starter. The difference to confirm before ordering is the control coil - the A200 unit is supplied with a 200-208V/60Hz coil, while the Square D 8536S-AG12V08 is built around a 120VAC 60Hz control coil. If your control circuit is 120V, the Square D unit drops in without a coil change; if your panel runs control power at 208V, the Eaton coil matches it instead.
9) I need the motor to run in both directions - can I use the 8536S-AG12V08?
No. The Square D 8536S-AG12V08 is a non-reversing starter, 3 pole and 3 phase, intended for single-direction motor control only. For a two-direction application you need a reversing starter such as the Eaton Freedom three-phase reversing IEC starter with C306 overload relay, which is built for forward and reverse operation. Reversing a motor with a non-reversing starter would require adding a second contactor and mechanical interlock, so specifying a reversing unit from the start is the cleaner path.
10) We mount starters inside an existing control panel - is the Square D 8536S the right choice or should we look at an open-type unit?
The Square D 8536S-AG12V08 ships in a NEMA 1 painted sheet steel enclosure measuring 10 in high, 5.98 in wide and 5.55 in deep, which suits a standalone indoor wall mount. If you are building the starter into a panel or enclosure you already have, an open-type chassis unit such as the Eaton Freedom C440 series NEMA non-reversing motor starter is the format to specify, since it is supplied open type without its own box. Both are non-reversing NEMA starters; the decision is whether the enclosure comes with the part or is already on the job.
11) What kind of overload protection is in the 8536S, and can it be changed?
It uses a melting alloy thermal overload relay, three pole, the classic eutectic alloy design that trips on sustained overcurrent and resets manually after cooling. The Type S platform accepts four overload relay types, so bimetallic or solid state options exist within the family if you want ambient compensation or adjustable trip class.
12) What are the alternatives to a Square D Type S NEMA starter if I need a different platform?
Within NEMA-rated full voltage nonreversing starters, ZenSupply also carries the Eaton Freedom A200 three-pole nonreversing starter with a 200-208V/60Hz coil, and the Eaton Freedom C440 Series NEMA nonreversing starter in open type for mounting inside an existing panel rather than its own enclosure. The ABB CR-102 covers the CR306 series in NEMA sizes 00 through 2. The Square D 8536S differs in being supplied enclosed in NEMA 1 with a 120VAC coil.
13) Do I need a separate start/stop pushbutton station with this Square D starter?
Yes. The 8536S comes with no control units and no pilot light on the cover, so the operator station is ordered separately and wired into the 120VAC control circuit. For a remote station, ZenSupply carries Eaton 10250T Series pushbuttons.
14) Can I use this Size 1 starter on a single phase motor?
No. It's a 3 pole, 3 phase starter built for AC squirrel cage motors. Single phase loads need a starter configured for single phase overload sensing, not a three pole NEMA unit.
15) Is the Eaton 10250T non-reversing starter pushbutton a substitute for the Square D 8536S-AG12V08?
No - they are different classes of device. The Square D 8536S-AG12V08 is a complete motor starter: contactor plus a melting alloy 3 thermal overload relay in a NEMA 1 enclosure, rated 10HP at 460VAC. The Eaton 10250T series item is a non-reversing reduced voltage starter pushbutton, an operator device for the control circuit rather than the power switching and overload protection itself. A pushbutton would be wired to a starter, not in place of one.
16) My motor is smaller than NEMA Size 1 - is there a starter that covers lower sizes than the Square D 8536S?
The Square D 8536S-AG12V08 is a NEMA Size 1 starter with motor full-load current selections of 9A, 18A and 27A. For motors below that class, the ABB CR-102 from the CR306 series spans NEMA sizes 00 through 2, so it reaches the smaller frame sizes as well as Size 1. If your FLA falls inside the 9A to 27A window, the Square D unit is sized for it directly.
17) Does the Square D 8536S or an IEC starter make more sense for a spec written to NEMA standards?
The Square D 8536S-AG12V08 is built to NEMA standards and is UL Listed, with 3P screw clamp terminals, so it answers a drawing that calls out a NEMA Size 1 starter directly. The Eaton Freedom three-phase starter with C306 overload relay is an IEC-style starter, a different sizing and frame convention. Where the submittal names a NEMA size, the Type S unit matches the language of the spec; where the panel is already built out in IEC gear, the IEC starter keeps the lineup consistent.
