The IP66 rated housing not only shields these switches from washdowns but also makes them durable enough to be mounted outside of an electrical panel. These switches cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance.

Switches with lockout secure in the off position with a padlock with a maximum shackle diameter of 5/16” (not included).

Add auxiliary contact blocks to send a signal or connect to another device, such as an alarm or indicating light.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Switches with a viewing window let you see if the fuses have blown without opening the enclosure.

A raintight NEMA 3R rated enclosure protects these switches from falling liquids and light splashing. The enclosure is steel, so it withstands tougher conditions than plastic enclosures. All 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).

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.

Use switches with a fuse holder where overload protection is needed. When the current exceeds the rating of the fuse, it blows. This interrupts the circuit and prevents overheating, damage, and fire. When used with UL Class RK1, RK5, or T fuses, they require rejection-style fuse clips. Note: Horsepower ratings are based on time-delay fuses installed.

Switches with a viewing window let you see if the fuses have blown without having to open the enclosure.

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. Mount to DIN rail inside an enclosure; mounting depth is the distance from the panel door to the DIN rail. UL listed, C-UL listed, and CE marked, these switches meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.

Use optional sealing gaskets in washdown environments; they create an IP65 rated seal around the actuator.

Add auxiliary contact blocks to send a signal or connect to another device, such as an alarm or indicating light.

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.

Add junction blocks to connect a ground wire.

Terminal covers prevent contact with live terminals.

Small yet mighty, these switches are about as tall and wide as an index card yet durable enough to mount directly to a wall. Their polycarbonate housing protects the switch and resists denting, chipping, and cracking. Rated IP65, the housing also seals out water even in frequently washed down areas. Don’t be fooled by their size—these switches can handle electrical loads comparable to a standard sized switch.

These switches cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. All have a lockout, so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included).

When the microcontroller inside detects a power outage, these switches automatically fire up a backup generator. They’ll switch back to utility power once power is restored. To prevent injury and damage to your generator, they are open transition, meaning the contacts disconnect from one power source before connecting to another. This is also known as break-before-make switching. These switches also have built-in overload protection, so they can isolate themselves from utility power to protect your facility. LED status lights let you know which power source is in use. Add a padlock (not included) to the lockout to prevent unauthorized changes to the switch. Rated NEMA 1, these switches should only be used indoors.

They're compatible with generators that have a two-wire remote starting system.

NEMA 3R doors make these switches safe for use outdoors since they seal out rain, snow, and sleet. These doors cover the LED status lights on the switch when closed.

If there’s a power outage, flip the toggle for each circuit on these switches to backup power. Each circuit can also be turned off completely. To prevent injury and damage to your generators, they are open transition, meaning the contacts disconnect from one power source before connecting to another. This is also known as break-before-make switching.

Use them with a portable generator.

NEMA 1 switches should be used indoors. Those with a power inlet box create a connection point between the switch and a portable generator. The inlet box is rated NEMA 3R, so it can be mounted on the outside of an exterior wall.

NEMA 3R switches can be used outdoors since they seal out rain, snow, and sleet.

Switches with a key lock prevent unauthorized changes to the switch.
