The model **8736SDO2V02SX2222** identifies a specific industrial **Reversing Magnetic Starter** manufactured by Schneider Electric (Square D). These units are used to control the direction and operation of three-phase electric motors. --- ### 1. Technical Specification Breakdown The alphanumeric code provides specific details regarding the enclosure, capacity, and electrical ratings: | Component Code | Description | Specifications | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **8736** | **Product Type** | NEMA Reversing Magnetic Starter | | **SD** | **NEMA Size** | Size 2 (Rated for ~45A / 25HP @ 460V) | | **O** | **Enclosure** | Open Style (No outer metal box, intended for panel mounting) | | **2** | **Pole Count** | 3-Pole (Standard for 3-Phase motors) | | **V02** | **Coil Voltage** | 120V AC @ 60Hz / 110V AC @ 50Hz | | **S** | **Overload Type** | Separate (usually refers to an external or specific relay type) | | **X2222** | **Modifications** | Custom factory modifications or specific auxiliary contact configurations | --- ### 2. Core Electronic/Electromechanical Components This device is an assembly of several critical parts: * **Contactors (Dual):** Since it is a reversing starter, it contains two mechanically interlocked contactors. One handles the "Forward" rotation and the other handles "Reverse" by swapping two phases of the incoming power. * **Mechanical Interlock:** A safety mechanism that prevents both contactors from closing simultaneously, which would cause a phase-to-phase short circuit. * **Operating Coil (V02):** An electromagnetic solenoid that, when energized with 120V, pulls the contacts closed to complete the power circuit. * **Overload Relay:** Protects the motor from drawing too much current (thermal or electronic protection). * **Auxiliary Contacts:** Low-power contacts used for signaling, pilot lights, or PLC feedback loops. --- ### 3. Applications This specific starter is designed for heavy-duty industrial environments where high reliability is required for motor control: * **Conveyor Belts:** To move materials in both directions. * **Industrial Hoists/Cranes:** To control up/down or left/right movement. * **Large Valves:** To automate the opening and closing cycles. --- ### 4.
