Disconnect switch ON-OFF, 3-pole 40A, in IP65 enclosure, red-yellow knob with padlock lock P1-40/I2/SVB 199909

Three-pole 40A switch in an IP65 enclosure – reliable disconnection with protection

This Eaton P1 series switch is a robust and safe solution for disconnecting electrical circuits. Designed for use in both industrial and public building installations, it provides effective protection against overload and short circuit. The enclosure with an IP65 degree of protection guarantees resistance to dust and moisture, making it an ideal choice for harsh environmental conditions.

Design and functionality

The switch features three poles and a rated current of 40A, allowing it to handle circuits with a power of up to 15 kW (AC-3, 400V) or 22 kW (AC-23, 400V). It is equipped with a red-yellow knob with a padlock, providing additional security and preventing accidental or unauthorized switching. The locking mechanism in the "0" (Off) position further enhances safety during maintenance or repair. The emergency stop switch allows for quick disconnection of power in crisis situations.

Applications and benefits

• Main switch: Ideal for installation as a main power switch in electrical installations.
• Repair switch: Allows for safe disconnection of a section of the installation during maintenance or modernization work.
• Emergency stop switch: Quick and effective disconnection of power in hazardous situations.
• Safety: Padlock prevents unauthorized switching, and the high IP65 protection rating protects against environmental influences.
• Durability: Solid construction and high-quality materials ensure long-lasting and reliable operation.
• Easy installation: Designed for surface mounting, making installation and integration with existing infrastructure easier.
• High short-circuit capacity: The rated conditional short-circuit current Iq is 80 kA, providing effective protection against the effects of short circuits.

In addition, the screw connection of the main contacts ensures a secure and durable connection of the wires. The device is complete – ready for installation immediately after unpacking. The rated continuous current for AC-21 is 40A, and the withstand short-circuit current Icw is 0.64 kA – these parameters demonstrate its reliability in various operating conditions.
