509-BOD - Allen Bradley Magnetic Starter Description
509-BOD - Allen Bradley Magnetic Starter
The Allen‑Bradley 509‑BOD is a compact, full-voltage (Direct-On-Line) motor starter built to control three-phase squirrel-cage motors up to 27 A continuous at 600 VAC. Designed with a durable eutectic alloy overload relay and corrosion-resistant metal parts, this NEMA Size 1 open-frame starter ensures reliable performance in industrial control panels, MCCs, and OEM assemblies where space is limited and single-direction motor control is sufficient.
