    Durable Disconnect Switches

    Protected by a steel enclosure, these switches withstand tougher conditions than switches in a plastic housing. Also known as safety switches, they have quick-make/quick-break action to eliminate arcing and prolong switch life. They have a lockout to secure in the off position using a padlock (not included).

    Fuse Holder—Switches with a fuse holder are used where overload protection is needed. When the current exceeds the fuse’s rating, the fuse will blow, interrupting the circuit to prevent the switch from overheating, breaking, or causing a fire. These switches require rejection-style fuse clips when used with UL Class RK1, RK5, or T fuses. Note: Horsepower ratings are based on time-delay fuses installed.
    Safety Interlock—Switches with safety interlock keep the door closed when the switch is on and prevent the switch from turning on when the door is open.
    Viewing Window—Switches with a viewing window let you see the switch position without opening the enclosure.

    Enclosure Disconnect Switches

    Install these switches inside an enclosure to prevent it from opening when power is on—turn the switch to disconnect power and release the door. Cut the shaft to fit the enclosure. Use a padlock (not included) to lock switches in the off position.
    Use additional power poles to control more than three circuits. Add neutral poles to open and close the neutral leg of a three-phase system.

    Switches with a fuse holder are used where overload protection is needed. When the current exceeds the fuse's rating, the fuse will blow, interrupting the circuit to prevent the switch from overheating, breaking, or causing a fire.
    Mounting Depth—Mount to DIN rail inside an enclosure; mounting depth is the distance from the panel door to the DIN rail.
    Enclosure Rating—All meet at least one safety standard.
