FAQs
Installers should connect three incoming lines to the three poles, using #14-2 AWG Cu/Al conductors as rated. The switch is designed for a NEMA 12/3R enclosure with a Class H fuse provision and fusible without neutral configuration. Ensure the enclosure mounting aligns with the panel cutout, and verify UL Listed status for compliance. Power plugs are not supplied with the receptacle, per catalog notes, so prepare the appropriate fittings and interconnects prior to assembly.
This switch supports up to 60 A with a maximum HP rating of 20, 25/30, and up to 50 hp for 1/3PH systems at 480–600 V. It is suitable for controlling medium-size motors in manufacturing lines, conveyors, and pumps. The three-pole, three-wire configuration simplifies motor starter integration, while the 600 V rating provides headroom for typical plant power distributions.
Yes. The unit is UL Listed, confirming compliance with recognized safety standards for electrical protection devices. It features a NEMA 12/3R enclosure for protection in dusty and moderate moisture environments, and it uses Class H fuses as part of its fusible safety switch design. These attributes collectively support safer operation and regulatory alignment for industrial facilities.
The combination of a NEMA 12/3R enclosure and painted galvanized steel construction provides robust protection against dust, grime, and corrosion for harsh environments. The fusible without neutral configuration simplifies wiring, and the #14-2 Cu/Al conductors compatibility reduces the need for specialty cabling. Overall, this design minimizes downtime during maintenance and reduces wiring errors on upgrade projects.
Expect improved uptime from reliable protection and fast fault isolation, reduced field wiring errors thanks to standard conductor sizing, and simplified maintenance due to clear three-pole operation and UL Listed safety. Although exact ROI varies by application, the combination of predictable performance, scalable motor protection (up to 50 hp), and durable enclosure reduces downtime and replacement costs over the equipment lifecycle.
