Disconnect switch On/Off In=25A P=13kW P1-25/I2-SI/HI11 207310

Safety disconnect switch – reliable power disconnection

This safety disconnect switch from Eaton is a robust and reliable solution for disconnecting loads in electrical installations. Designed for both industrial and public building applications, it ensures safe operation and easy maintenance of equipment. The device's construction, compliant with IEC/EN 60947-3 standards, guarantees effective protection against electric shock during service and repair work.

Functionality and application

The device serves as a main switch with an additional hermetically sealed cover, ideal for disconnecting individual electrical receivers such as motors or machines. Using a P1 disconnect switch allows for safe maintenance and repair work without the risk of accidental reconnection of power. The red rotating handle with a yellow locking ring enables visual identification of the off state and protection against accidental switching on by using a lock (for up to 3 padlocks). The IP65 degree of protection ensures resistance to dust and moisture, allowing installation in harsh environmental conditions.

Key features and benefits

• Safety first: Emergency switch function and the ability to lock in the off position increase work safety.
• Durable construction: Complete device in a housing ensures durability and resistance to mechanical damage.
• Versatility: Suitable for mounting on a plate and does not require installation in distribution boards.
• High switching capacity: Rated operating power for AC-23 is 13 kW at 400 V, and for AC-3 – 7.5 kW, allowing it to handle a variety of loads.
• Status indication: Has one normally open (NO) auxiliary contact and one normally closed (NC) contact for indicating the off or on state.
• Resistance to external conditions: IP65 protection guarantees protection against dust and water jets, allowing the device to be used in demanding environmental conditions.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60947-3 standards, ensuring compliance with applicable safety regulations.
• Rated current: 25A allows for use in many electrical installations.

Technical parameters in practice

The disconnect switch is characterized by a rated continuous current Iu of 25 A and a rated short-circuit withstand current Icw of 0.64 kA. The rated operating voltage is 690…690 V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is worth noting the presence of a locking mechanism, which further protects against accidental reconnection of power during service work. The type of connection of the main contacts is screw connection – a proven and reliable mounting solution.
