Eaton AHDS60VFD Motor Control Disconnect Switch - NEMA 4X

Part Number: AHDS60VFD
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
AHDS60VFD

Quick Summary

The Eaton AHDS60VFD motor control disconnect switch is designed to control three-phase drives in industrial settings. In harsh environments, technicians face corrosion, washdown exposure, and safety concerns that slow commissioning and increase downtime. This unit ships with a NEMA 4X VALOX thermoplastic enclosure and RoHS compliance, with cULus listing for reliable field use. The compact footprint supports mounting feet or DIN rail, and its flush or 1/4 in spacing options simplify panel design and retrofits. Auxiliary contacts for VF drives (early-break) provide safe, fail-safe signaling. By combining rugged protection with straightforward installation, it delivers improved uptime, safer lockout/tagout, and lower total cost of ownership for industrial machinery and packaging lines.

Enclosure protection and reliability: The NEMA 4X VALOX thermoplastic enclosure provides robust resistance to washdown, corrosion, and harsh chemicals, reducing maintenance cycles and minimizing unplanned downtime in food & beverage, chemical processing, and general manufacturing environments. This translates to safer, more consistent operation on conveyors, packaging lines, and automated assembly cells. Installation flexibility: Mounting feet or DIN rail compatibility with flush or 1/4 in spacing supports quick retrofits and streamlined panel design, saving installation time and reducing field wiring errors on new lines and upgrades. Electrical versatility: With a 60A amperage rating, 600V voltage rating, and three-pole three-phase configuration, the AHDS60VFD accommodates modern motor drives while providing reliable isolation and fault signaling through auxiliary contacts for VF drives (early-break), enabling safer shutdown sequences and simpler PLC integration. Compliance and protection: RoHS compliant and cULus listed, this switch is suited for regulated facilities and stringent safety standards, offering peace of mind for compliance audits and end-user safety programs. Material and finish: VALOX thermoplastic, gray color, and robust construction support serviceability in demanding environments, ensuring consistent performance with minimal aesthetic and functional degradation over time. Industry context: In process automation, packaging, and material handling, the AHDS60VFD reduces total cost of ownership by lowering maintenance labor, improving uptime, and ensuring reliable control of three-phase motors under washdown and rugged conditions.
