Compact yet capable, the GUSC2036 MS combines a three-pole configuration with a 40 A rating and a 120-600 VAC range, making it suitable for a wide array of motor control applications. Its 3/4-inch trade size supports straightforward integration into standard control panels, reducing space requirements without sacrificing performance. In practice, this means easier wiring, faster commissioning, and lower panel costs for new builds and retrofit projects. Constructed from Feraloy iron alloy, the housing provides rugged durability and resistance to mechanical wear in tougher environments. This material choice supports longevity in dusty, oily, or high-temperature locations, directly translating to lower maintenance cycles and fewer unplanned outages. For engineers, that means predictable performance after years of service. Through-feed operation simplifies the control scheme by allowing power to flow continuously through the starter, reducing installation complexity and enabling quicker motor restart after fault conditions. This design also supports reliable remote control and easier integration with existing motor starter panels, relay logic, and contactors. In hazardous locations, a robust through-feed solution helps maintain control integrity even in demanding duty cycles. Safety and compliance are central to the GUSC2036 MS. With NEC/CEC standards alignment, NEMA Ratings of 7, 3, 9, and 12, and clear area classifications for Hazardous/Classified Locations, it’s engineered to meet stringent industrial requirements. This minimizes the risk of regulatory gaps during audits and supports certification documentation for installation in oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities. Procurers and maintenance teams benefit from accessible documentation, including the GUSC Series catalog page and UL certification references. The availability of detailed specifications and datasheets—such as Eaton’s official specification sheet—facilitates fast comparisons, cost estimation, and supplier qualification. By aligning sourcing with documented performance, you reduce project risk and shorten time to operational readiness.
