Square D 8536SBO1V02 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Motor FLA do I pick on the Square D 8536S starter, 18A or 27A?
Match it to the motor nameplate full-load amps. The 18A build is MPN 8536SBO1V02 and the 27A build is MPN 8536SCO3V08. If your motor's FLA sits above 18 amps, go to the 27A unit; those are the only two full-load amperage ratings offered.
2) Can this Square D starter run a motor in both directions?
No. It is a non-reversing starter, so it is for single-direction motor control only. A conveyor, hoist, or damper drive that needs forward and reverse requires a reversing starter with a mechanically interlocked contactor pair instead.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Square D 8536S Type S motor starter from another manufacturer?
The Eaton Freedom C440 series NEMA non-reversing motor starter, open type, is the closest match in configuration. Both are NEMA-standard non-reversing starters supplied as open devices for mounting inside a suitable enclosure, and the Square D 8536S-BO1V02 is non-reversing with screw clamp terminal connections and 18A to 27A motor full-load amperage coverage. If your panel drawing calls for an open NEMA non-reversing starter, either platform fits that description.
4) I need a starter that can run a motor in both directions - what should I use instead of the 8536S?
The Square D 8536S-BO1V02 is a non-reversing starter, so it controls a motor in one direction only. For forward and reverse control, the Eaton Freedom series three-phase reversing IEC starter with C306 overload relay is built for that duty. Note that it is an IEC-style starter rather than a NEMA-rated device like the Type S, so confirm which construction standard your specification calls out before substituting.
5) Does the Square D 8536S Type S starter include overload protection for the motor?
Melting alloy thermal overload protection is available on the Type S line for motor branch-circuit overload protection. It is a full-voltage (across the line) starter for AC squirrel cage motors, so verify the heater element selection matches the motor FLA you order.
6) Does this starter come with a start/stop pushbutton or pilot devices?
No. The 8536S Type S unit ships with no control units and a common control circuit configuration, so any start/stop station, selector switch, or pilot light is ordered separately. Eaton's 10250T series pushbuttons are the kind of operator device you would add on the enclosure door.
7) What is the difference between a NEMA-rated starter like this Square D Type S and an IEC starter?
NEMA-rated starters such as the Type S are sized by NEMA size with generous contact margin and field-replaceable parts, which is why they dominate North American industrial panels. IEC starters are sized tightly to the motor and are physically smaller; Eaton's Freedom three-phase IEC starter with a C306 overload relay is that style. If your drawing calls out a NEMA size rather than an amp-matched IEC unit, stay with the NEMA device.
8) What are the alternatives to the Square D 8536S if I need an open non-reversing NEMA starter from another brand?
Two close equivalents we carry: the Eaton Freedom C440 series NEMA non-reversing starter, which is also an open-type unit for panel mounting, and the Eaton Freedom A200 non-reversing three-pole starter with a 200-208V/60Hz coil. ABB's CR-102 from the CR306 series covers NEMA sizes 00 through 2. Coil voltage is the thing to match when you substitute, since the control circuit has to suit your existing wiring.
9) Will this Square D starter work for soft starting a large motor?
No. The Type S is a full-voltage (across the line) starter, meaning the motor sees full line voltage the instant the contactor closes and draws full inrush. If your application needs limited starting current or torque, you want a reduced-voltage starter or a VFD, not this device.
10) Is the Eaton 10250T non-reversing reduced voltage starter pushbutton a substitute for the Square D 8536S?
No. The Eaton 10250ED1043 is a pushbutton operator in the 10250T series - a pilot device used to command a starter. The Square D 8536S-BO1V02 is the motor starter itself, a full-voltage non-reversing device for starting and stopping AC squirrel cage motors, measuring 6.77 in high by 3.5 in wide by 4.21 in deep. You would wire a pushbutton of that kind into the control circuit of a starter, not in place of one. The 8536S is also supplied with no control units as a common control circuit device.
11) How does the Eaton Freedom A200 compare with the Square D Type S non-reversing starter?
The Eaton A200MACB is a three-pole non-reversing motor starter with a 200-208V/60Hz coil, so the coil voltage is fixed by the part number. The Square D 8536S-BO1V02 is specified instead by motor full-load amperage, offered at 18A and 27A, and is an open NEMA device with screw clamp terminals. If you are matching an existing 200-208V control circuit, the A200 states that coil directly; if you are sizing to the motor nameplate FLA, the Type S selection works from that number.
12) What alternative covers smaller NEMA frame sizes than the Square D 8536S?
The ABB CR-102 in the CR306 series is offered across NEMA sizes 00 through 2, which gives you a route to smaller frame sizes for light motor loads. The Square D 8536S-BO1V02 is selected by motor full-load amperage at 18A or 27A. For a small fractional-horsepower load, check the motor nameplate FLA against the Type S options first and step to the smaller NEMA size only if the load falls below that range.
13) What kind of terminals does the Square D 8536S starter use for field wiring?
Screw clamp terminals on the electrical connections. You land stranded conductors directly under the clamp, no lugs or crimp terminals needed, which also makes re-terminating during panel service straightforward.
