• Manual motor starting and stopping applications

When it may not be suitable

This switch is not intended for applications requiring automated or remote switching, as it is designed strictly for manual operation. Additionally, it may not be suitable for environments where the current load consistently exceeds 100A or in hazardous areas requiring explosion-proof certification.

Key specifications

• Switching positions: 0-1
• Number of poles: 3
• Rated current: 100A
• Ingress protection: IP65
• Mounting: Front plate included

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. The switch is designed to be mounted onto a flat surface or control panel using the provided front plate. Ensure that all electrical connections are tightened securely to the terminals to prevent overheating. Once installed, the switch is operated by manually rotating the handle to the desired 0 or 1 position to open or close the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 100A rating is sufficient for your specific electrical load.
• Ensure the mounting surface is flat and capable of supporting the weight of the switch.
• Confirm that the IP65 rating meets the environmental requirements of your installation site.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the switch housing for signs of damage or wear, especially if installed in outdoor or high-vibration environments. Ensure the handle moves freely and that the electrical connections remain tight during periodic maintenance checks.
