Elektromet E25-13/5 Cam Switch 0-I 3P 25A in IP44 Enclosure with Padlock Facility

The Elektromet E25-13/5 is a professional 3-pole cam switch engineered for reliable 0-I manual control in electrical circuits. With a rated current of 25A, this device is built to handle demanding industrial and commercial applications. The switch is securely mounted within a durable IP44-rated enclosure, which offers effective protection against dust ingress and water splashes, making it suitable for environments where environmental exposure is a concern. A key safety feature is the integrated padlock facility, which allows the handle to be locked in the off position to prevent unauthorized operation during maintenance or repair work.

Advantages

This cam switch stands out due to its robust construction and focus on operational safety. The IP44 housing ensures that the internal components remain protected from external elements, extending the lifespan of the device in challenging conditions. The inclusion of a padlockable handle provides a critical layer of security, ensuring that equipment remains de-energized during servicing. Its compact design and straightforward 0-I switching mechanism make it an intuitive and dependable solution for manual power control in various electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Industrial machinery power control
• Commercial electrical distribution systems
• Manual motor starting and stopping
• Maintenance isolation for electrical equipment

When it may not be suitable

This switch is not intended for use in environments requiring higher ingress protection ratings, such as full immersion or high-pressure water jet cleaning. It is also not suitable for applications exceeding the 25A current rating or for circuits requiring more than three poles.

Key specifications

• Switch type: 3-pole cam switch
• Operation: 0-I (On-Off)
• Rated current: 25A
• Ingress protection: IP44
• Safety feature: Padlockable handle

How to use

The switch is designed for surface mounting. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process. Secure the enclosure to a flat, stable surface using the provided mounting points. Connect the electrical conductors to the appropriate terminals according to the wiring diagram. Once installed, the switch is operated by rotating the handle between the 0 (Off) and I (On) positions. To lock the switch, turn the handle to the 0 position and insert a padlock through the designated hole in the handle mechanism.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 25A current rating is sufficient for your specific load requirements.
• Ensure the IP44 rating meets the environmental conditions of your installation site.
• Confirm that the 3-pole configuration matches your circuit design.
• Check the available space for surface mounting the enclosure.

Usage recommendations

Always perform a functional test after installation to ensure the switch operates smoothly and the padlock mechanism engages correctly. Regularly inspect the enclosure for any signs of damage or moisture ingress to maintain the integrity of the IP44 protection.
