Cam switch Elektromet L-0-P 3-pole 16A IP44 in enclosure model 921616

Electromet cam switch L-0-P 3-pole 16A in enclosure model 921616 is a manual switching device designed for control and isolation of three-phase circuits. Supplied in an enclosure with IP44 protection, this cam switch is intended for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations where protection against splashing water and solid objects larger than 1 mm is required. The device offers a clear L‑0‑P selector arrangement for on/off/reverse or forward/stop/reverse applications and is suitable for use on distribution panels, control cabinets and small machines.

Advantages

The cam switch provides reliable mechanical switching for currents up to 16 A across three poles, ensuring safe interruption and direction change of motors and circuits. Its IP44 enclosure enables use in environments with occasional splashes or light dust, while the compact design allows straightforward panel or surface mounting. The simple selector operation reduces wiring complexity and supports fast manual control and maintenance access.

Suitable for

• Manual control and direction change of small motors
• Isolation and switching in distribution boards and control cabinets
• Machine tools and workshop equipment requiring a forward/stop/reverse function
• Indoor and sheltered outdoor installations with splash protection needs

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 3-pole switching
• Rated current: 16 A
• Enclosure protection rating: IP44
• Operational positions: L (left)/0 (off)/P (right) selector
• Mounting: enclosure-mounted for panel or surface installation

How to use

Install the cam switch in a suitable location inside a panel or on a surface where the IP44 enclosure will be protected from direct heavy rain and large debris. Connect the three-phase supply and load conductors to the corresponding input and output terminals according to the wiring diagram supplied with the switch. Use the selector to change between L, 0 and P positions for forward, off and reverse functions; ensure power is isolated before performing any wiring or maintenance. Verify correct mechanical and electrical operation with appropriate testing equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use in accordance with applicable electrical standards and local regulations; ensure the switch is not exposed to continuous water jets or immersion. Select appropriate cable sizes and protective devices (fuses or circuit breakers) rated for 16 A or higher as required by the installation. Periodically check enclosure seals and terminal tightness to maintain reliable operation.
