Suitable for
- Industrial machinery control panels
- Outdoor electrical equipment installations
- Workshops and manufacturing facilities
- Manual power supply disconnection
- Lighting circuit control
When it may not be suitable
This switch is not intended for applications requiring multi-pole switching, as it is strictly a 1-pole device. Furthermore, it should not be used in environments where the electrical load exceeds the 25A rating or in hazardous areas requiring explosion-proof equipment.
Key specifications
- Switch type: 1-pole cam switch
- Switching positions: 0-I
- Rated current: 25A
- Ingress protection: IP65
- Mounting: Enclosed
How to use
The Elektromet E25-53 should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process. Mount the enclosure securely to a flat surface using the provided mounting points. Connect the electrical conductors to the appropriate terminals inside the housing, ensuring all connections are tightened to the specified torque. Once installed, the switch is operated by manually rotating the handle between the 0 (off) and I (on) positions.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 1-pole configuration meets your specific circuit requirements.
- Ensure the 25A current rating is sufficient for your connected load.
- Check the mounting surface to ensure it can accommodate the dimensions of the enclosure.
- Confirm that the IP65 rating is adequate for your intended installation environment.
Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the enclosure for any signs of physical damage or degradation to maintain the IP65 protection rating. Ensure the handle moves freely and that no debris obstructs the switching mechanism.
