Cam switch 15A, Three-phase forward/reverse switch, in OB3 enclosure. ŁK15-5.8538\OB3

Three-phase reversing starter switch

This three-phase cam switch, catalog number ŁK15-5.8538\OB3, is a reliable device designed for frequent switching of electrical circuits. It is used to control electric motors, allowing for a change in their direction of rotation. The construction in OB3 housing provides high resistance to environmental and mechanical conditions, making it an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users.

Construction and functionality

The cam switch is characterized by a solid construction made of plastic, ensuring durability and safety of use. It has three poles and is adapted for screw connections, which facilitates assembly and connection of wires. Equipped with a 0 position, it allows for safe disconnection of the circuit. The IP65 protection class guarantees protection against dust and water jet - useful in harsh industrial conditions. This model is supplied as a complete device in a housing, ready for immediate installation.

Applications and benefits

• Change of rotation direction: Ideal for applications requiring frequent changes in the motor's working direction, e.g. in material transport systems or production machines.
• Control of three-phase motors: Designed to control motors with a rated power of up to 8 kW at a voltage of 400 V.
• Safety of use: Rated continuous current at 15 A and high short-circuit strength (2 kA) ensure safe operation of the installation.
• Durability and reliability: Made of high-quality materials, guarantees a long service life and minimizes the risk of failure - this is also confirmed by the high mechanical durability of 3 million switching cycles.
• Resistance to external conditions: IP65 protection class protects against the influence of dust and water, allowing the switch to be used in demanding industrial environments.
• Easy installation: Screw connections facilitate quick and reliable connection of wires.

Additional information: the switch has no normally open and normally closed auxiliary contacts. It is not adapted for indirect mounting or installation in distribution boards and does not automatically return to the 0 position after releasing the knob. The actuating element is a knob enabling convenient operation of the device. The rated operating power is 8 kW at 400 V, and the rated continuous current is 15 A. The housing is made of plastic, and the protection class is IP65. The device has three poles.
