Cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. These switches are housed in a protective enclosure that resists denting, chipping, and cracking. Mount them to the wall when you run out of space in an electrical panel.

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

Photovoltaic switches can be used with photovoltaic cells which convert sunlight into electricity.

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.

With a housing that’s designed to contain an explosion, these switches are safe to use in areas where ignitable concentrations of flammable or combustible gas, dust, or fibers may be present. They meet NEC Class I Div. 1 and 2, Groups B, C, D, and Class II, Div. 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G. Use them to cut power and keep it isolated, so equipment won’t accidentally start up during inspection or maintenance.

Made from aluminum, these switches also resist corrosion in wet or oily areas. They have a lockout, so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included).

Keep power running while you access your enclosure. Unlike standard enclosure disconnect switches, which shut off power as you open your enclosure, these have an override function. Engaging the override allows you to take voltage reading, troubleshoot an error code, or fine tune the speed of your line. When the override is off, these work like a standard disconnect switch—a safety interlock prevents your enclosure from opening when power is on. The interlock also prevents the switch from turning on when the door is already open. Cut the shaft to fit your enclosure. All have a lockout so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (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.

Add junction blocks to connect a ground wire.

Terminal covers prevent contact with live terminals.

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 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.

Also known as interlock switches, these ensure the safety of personnel by automatically shutting off power to machinery when an access door opens. Mount the switch to the door frame and mount a key to the door so that the key is inserted into the switch when the door is closed. When the door opens, the key is removed from the switch and the machine shuts down. They’re often used with machine guards for large robots.

All switches require an actuator key, but not all include one—check whether you need to pick out a separate actuator key. For some switch styles, you can also select the mounting orientation of the key.

Style A-G switches have positive-force, normally closed contacts that will open a circuit when the switch is actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick.

IP67 rated switches protect against temporary submersion. NEMA 4 rated switches protect against washdowns. NEMA 6 rated switches protect against both temporary submersion and washdowns.
