Industrial Motor Switch
The Hubbell Killark XSX-52 is a manual motor switch rated at 20 A with two poles for single-phase circuits. It is built for hazardous locations rated Class I Division 1 and 2 Groups C and D, Class II Division 1 and 2 Groups E, F and G, and Class III Division 1 and 2. The handle operator provides direct local control for motor circuits in demanding industrial environments. A pilot light is included for clear status indication at a glance.
Capacity and Headroom
The switch handles single-phase motor loads up to 2 hp at 120 V AC and 2 hp at 240 V AC. For three-phase applications it supports up to 3 hp at 480 V AC and 3 hp at 600 V AC. One thermal unit is required for overload protection. The 20 A current rating sets the upper limit for connected motor full-load current. Applications exceeding these horsepower or voltage ratings will need a higher-capacity starter.
Upgrade Path
This unit replaces older manual starters that lack hazardous-location ratings or an integrated pilot light. The jump is worthwhile when moving into Class I, II or III classified areas where explosion-proof enclosures are mandatory. It is not suited for buyers who need automatic magnetic control, remote operation, or multi-gang configurations. Builders requiring more than two poles or higher horsepower ratings at these voltages should specify a larger frame starter.

Questions about this item
Will the 20 A rating and 2-pole design let me keep my existing 120 V single-phase motor circuit?
Yes, the switch is rated 20 A, 2-pole, single-phase and handles up to 2 hp at 120 V AC, so it matches that circuit.
How can I verify the handle-operated switch is functioning correctly once installed?
Operate the handle through its full travel; the pilot light will illuminate when the contacts are closed, confirming power is reaching the motor.
Does the XSX-52 ship with the required thermal unit or must I order it separately?
The switch requires one thermal unit which is not included; you must purchase the correct thermal unit for your motor’s full-load current.
