FS: AB 509 Starter

[Rick_B]

For sale is an Allen Bradley 509-BAD magnetic starter. BAD Does not indicate condition - it is the model with B indicating size, A I think is enclosure and D is voltage. This is a NEMA size 1 capable of both single and three phase usage. It currently has a 120volt coil and W43 heaters. It is capable of handling 27 amps at 220 volts. The starter is currently wired for single phase input. Also included is a remote REES start/stop station in a Crouse Hinds cast box. This starter has been tested and all functions operate correctly. This is a used item but appears like new.

I don’t have much experience with these starters in terms of pricing – the only guide I have is Ebay completed auctions. I am asking $225 plus shipping (estimated at $15). If my pricing is out of line all reasonable offers are welcome.

Thanks for looking
Rick

Ok, did the marketing department really have any say in naming that product? An "AB 509-BAD" ??

They also made starters for fitness equipment



Truthfully, those letters mean various ways the starter can be had.
AB is top of the line NEMA grade mag starters.

Actually it is old news going back to a time when people used household light switches as a substitute motor starting switch. Those tiny contacts would work for a while but starve a cap start motor on startup.
Here's a quick lesson on contacts on page one.
