Choosing an Electrical Switch

Enclosed Compact Disconnect Switches
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).

Enclosed Disconnect Switches
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.
