Elektromet WGZ-4s Emergency Switch with Lock 2NO 2NC 12A IP55

The Elektromet WGZ-4s is a professional-grade emergency main switch designed to provide reliable power disconnection and enhanced safety in industrial electrical systems. Featuring a robust construction and an integrated security lock, this device ensures that power can be cut off immediately during critical situations while preventing unauthorized reactivation. With a 2NO 2NC contact configuration and a 12A rating, it serves as a dependable component for controlling machinery and electrical circuits in demanding environments.

Advantages

The primary strength of the Elektromet WGZ-4s lies in its high durability and resistance to environmental factors, thanks to its IP55 ingress protection rating which shields the internal components from dust and water jets. The inclusion of a physical security lock adds a vital layer of operational safety, ensuring that the switch remains in the desired position during maintenance or emergency procedures. Its compact yet sturdy design allows for straightforward integration into existing control panels or wall-mounted installations, providing consistent performance under standard industrial loads.

Suitable for

• Industrial machinery power control
• Emergency stop systems in workshops
• Electrical distribution boards
• Safety-critical power isolation

This switch may not be suitable for high-voltage power distribution systems exceeding its 12A current rating or for environments requiring specialized explosion-proof certifications. It is also not intended for use in applications where frequent, high-speed automated switching is required, as it is primarily designed for manual emergency and maintenance isolation.

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 2NO 2NC
• Rated current: 12A
• Ingress protection: IP55
• Integrated security lock
• Application: Emergency main switch

To use the Elektromet WGZ-4s, ensure that the device is mounted securely on a flat, stable surface or within a compatible electrical enclosure. Wiring should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical codes, ensuring that the 2NO 2NC contacts are correctly integrated into the control circuit. Once installed, the switch is operated manually by turning the handle to the desired position, after which the security lock can be engaged to prevent accidental or unauthorized operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 12A current rating is sufficient for your specific load requirements.
• Ensure the IP55 rating meets the environmental conditions of your installation site.
• Confirm that the 2NO 2NC contact configuration aligns with your existing safety circuit design.

For optimal safety and longevity, perform periodic inspections of the switch housing and contact terminals to ensure they remain free of debris and that all electrical connections are tight. Always test the emergency disconnection function during scheduled maintenance intervals.
