Cam switch 0-1 3P 16A IP44 in enclosure Elektromet 921613

Electromet cam switch 0-1 3P 16A in enclosure is a manual three-pole switching device designed for straightforward on/off control of three-phase circuits. Housed in a protective enclosure with IP44 rating, the switch offers splash and solid-object protection suitable for many industrial and commercial environments. The compact design supports installation on distribution boards, electrical panels and enclosures where reliable isolation or simple motor control is required.

Advantages

The cam switch provides stable mechanical switching across three poles with a rated current of 16 A, ensuring consistent conduction and interruption of three-phase loads. The IP44 enclosure protects against splashing water and contact with tools or wires, improving safety in damp or dust-prone areas. Its manual operation makes the device simple to use and maintain, and the enclosure simplifies mounting and protects internal terminals from accidental contact.

Suitable for

• Manual on/off switching of three-phase distribution circuits
• Isolation of machinery and equipment for maintenance
• Basic motor control and start/stop applications within rated current
• Use in electrical panels and distribution boards in workshops and small commercial sites

Key specifications

• Poles: 3-pole (3P)
• Rated current: 16 A
• Operational positions: 0 (off) and 1 (on)
• Protection class: IP44 (splash and solid-object protection)
• Actuation: manual cam mechanism
• Mounting: enclosed unit suitable for panel or surface mounting

How to use

Install the cam switch into a suitable enclosure or panel cutout following local wiring regulations and ensure power is disconnected during installation. Connect incoming and outgoing phase conductors to the corresponding terminals, observing correct phase order and secure terminal tightening. Use the manual actuator to switch between the 0 and 1 positions; the mechanism provides tactile feedback when contacts change state. Verify correct operation after wiring by applying power and confirming intended on/off control across the three phases.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the device is used within its 16 A rating and in environments consistent with an IP44 protection level. For higher ingress protection or greater current demands, select an appropriately rated switch. Regularly inspect terminal connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion, and perform isolation before maintenance.
