Rotary switch 0-I 3P 16A IP65 in enclosure Elektromet Łuk E16-13

Elektromet Łuk E16-13 is a rotary cam switch with two positions (0-I), three poles and a rated current of 16 A, delivered pre-mounted in a protective enclosure with IP65 ingress protection. The sealed housing and robust switching mechanism make this switch suitable for manual control and isolation of electrical circuits where protection against dust and water is required. The product is designed for installation in industrial, commercial or residential systems and provides a simple, visible off/on selector for motors, pumps, heaters and general electrical loads.

Advantages

The rotary switch provides clear mechanical position feedback and reliable contact separation for safe circuit isolation. Its IP65-rated enclosure prevents ingress of dust and water, enabling installation in damp or contaminated environments without additional protective housings. Compact dimensions and a three-pole configuration allow switching of three-phase circuits or multiple conductors in a single device, while the robust cam mechanism ensures long mechanical life under manual operation.

Suitable for

• Manual on/off control of single-phase and three-phase loads
• Isolation of circuits for maintenance and safety
• Control of motors, pumps and ventilation equipment
• Use in workshops, outdoor cabinets and damp utility rooms

Key specifications

• Switch type: rotary (cam) switch with two positions 0 and I
• Contact poles: 3P (three poles)
• Rated current: 16 A
• Ingress protection: IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets)
• Enclosure: sealed protective housing for surface or panel mounting
• Operation: manual, mechanical cam actuation

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a stable surface or panel using the recommended fasteners and ensure that the switch is accessible for manual operation. Before wiring, disconnect supply power and verify that the conductors and terminals are compatible with a 16 A rated device. Connect incoming and outgoing conductors to the three poles following the circuit diagram or installation standard applicable to your system, tighten terminal screws to the specified torque, and close the enclosure ensuring the sealing gasket is intact. After wiring, restore power and test the switch by rotating the actuator to the 0 and I positions to confirm correct operation and isolation.

Usage recommendations

For safe and reliable operation, use the switch within its rated current and environmental limits, avoid exposure to chemicals or abrasive particles that could damage the sealing, and perform periodic inspections of terminal tightness and enclosure integrity. When switching inductive loads such as motors, consider adding appropriate protective devices (fuses, motor protection relays or contactors) to protect contacts and connected equipment.
