Cross connector In=20A P=6.5 kW T0-3-8401/E 091047

Cam switch – reliable switching in your installation

This Eaton cam switch, with a rated current of 20A and a power of 6.5kW, is a solid solution for controlling electrical circuits. It is suitable for both industrial and commercial installations. Its construction and parameters ensure safe and efficient operation, and the high degree of protection IP65 guarantees resistance to harsh environmental conditions.

Construction and application

The T0-3-8401/E cam switch is a device designed for frequent switching of electrical circuits. Its construction based on a cam mechanism ensures reliable and dependable operation. The return switch with a short rotary handle enables convenient operation, and the ability to set it to the "0" position increases safety during maintenance and repairs. It is ideal for controlling motors, heaters and other loads requiring frequent switching on and off. Panel mounting (front plate 48x48) simplifies integration with existing switchboards.

Key features and benefits

• High resistance to external conditions: The IP65 degree of protection protects against dust and water jets, making it an ideal choice for applications in harsh industrial conditions.
• Safety of use: Rated continuous current of 20A and rated operating voltage of 690V ensure safe operation of the device in various electrical installations.
• Durable construction: The housing made of plastic is lightweight and at the same time resistant to mechanical damage.
• Versatility of application: Possibility of central and indirect mounting allows for flexible adaptation to different installation needs.
• Designed for frequent switching: The cam mechanism ensures a long service life even with intensive use.
• Provides control: Model with "0" position allows for safe isolation of the circuit during maintenance or repair work.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of IEC/EN60947 standards, which guarantees high quality and safety of use.

Technical parameters in practice

The rated operating power for AC-3 at 400V is 4kW – this means that this switch can easily handle typical devices with this power. The rated operating current Ie for AC-3 at 400V is 11.5A, which provides an adequate power reserve for stable operation of connected loads. The lack of auxiliary contacts (normally closed, normally open and changeover) simplifies the device's construction and reduces its cost, while fulfilling the basic functions of switching electrical circuits. The material of the housing – plastic – affects its lightness and electrical insulation, increasing safety of use.
