250 VDC Magnet Safety Disconnect Switch

Magnet circuits, which are highly inductive, occasionally require disconnection while the magnet is energized. The switch is polarity sensitive. Input and output power leads must be connected as indicated by markings.

Features

  • Manually operated
  • Automatic discharge of magnet power
  • Mechanical interlock (door must be closed to operate)
  • NEMA 3R/12 (IP-55) combination enclosure
  • Provides operator safety
  • Standard sizes 30, 60, 100 and 200 amp
    • 30 A and 60 A switches do not require power resistor
