Elektromet 916358 Cam Switch 0-1 63A 3P, Panel-Mounted with Lockable Front Plate

The Elektromet 916358 is a high-performance 3-pole cam switch engineered for secure panel-mounted applications. With a 63A current rating and a clear 0-1 switching configuration, this device serves as a reliable component for managing electrical circuits in demanding environments. The integrated lockable front plate is a standout feature, allowing users to secure the switch in the off position with a padlock to prevent unauthorized or accidental activation during maintenance or system downtime.

Advantages

This cam switch offers exceptional durability and operational reliability, making it a preferred choice for industrial electrical installations. The robust construction ensures long-term performance under continuous load, while the compact panel-mount design facilitates efficient space utilization within control cabinets. The inclusion of a lockable mechanism significantly enhances workplace safety by ensuring that equipment remains de-energized during service, effectively minimizing the risk of electrical hazards.

Suitable for

• Industrial machinery control panels
• Electrical distribution systems
• Motor start-stop applications
• Maintenance lockout-tagout procedures
• Power supply isolation

This switch may not be suitable for applications requiring high-frequency switching under extreme environmental conditions such as excessive moisture, corrosive atmospheres, or high-vibration areas without appropriate protective enclosure ratings. It is designed specifically for standard industrial panel mounting and may not fit into non-standard or residential-style wall boxes.

Key specifications

• Switching positions: 0-1
• Number of poles: 3
• Rated current: 63A
• Mounting type: Panel-mounted
• Safety feature: Lockable front plate

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. The switch is mounted directly onto the panel surface using the provided hardware. Ensure that the electrical connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent overheating. Once installed, the lockable front plate can be engaged by inserting a standard padlock through the designated opening when the switch is in the 0 position.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 63A rating matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the panel space is sufficient for the mounting dimensions
• Confirm the compatibility of your padlock with the locking mechanism
• Check that the 3-pole configuration meets your phase requirements

Always verify that the circuit is completely de-energized before beginning the installation process. Regularly inspect the switch for any signs of wear or loose connections to maintain optimal safety and performance.
