    Actuator

    Use these switches to turn motors on and off, or to control lighting and electric heat circuits. They do not provide overload protection.
    Toggle Switch Actuator—Toggle switches work like a traditional light switch—just flip the toggle up or down. Even if you’re wearing thick gloves, they’re easy to actuate.

    Enclosure Motor Switches

    Image of Specification. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Enclosure Motor Switches.
    Designed to mount on an electrical enclosure, these switches control motors, lighting, and electric heat circuits. Your enclosure door will only open when the switch is turned to the off position. This ensures equipment is safely off before you open the electrical enclosure. For an extra layer of safety, use a padlock (not included) on the actuator lever to lock switches in the off position. These switches do not provide overload protection.
    Cut the shaft to fit your enclosure. Mount to a DIN rail inside an enclosure; mounting depth is the distance from the panel door to the DIN rail.

    These switches cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance.
    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.

    Undervoltage Disconnect Switches

    Prevent motors and other equipment from overheating or failing from not having enough voltage. When the supply voltage falls below 35% of the rated voltage, these switches will automatically turn off to protect the circuit from undervoltage. Once the power is cut, they'll keep it isolated to prevent accidental startups during inspection and maintenance.
    To prevent unauthorized use of these switches, you can lock them out with a padlock (not included). Even if a padlock blocks them from physically turning off, they’ll disconnect power to the actuator if voltage falls below a safe level.
