• Safety: Rated conventional thermal current is 13kA, providing effective protection against the effects of short circuits.
• Easy operation: Red knob facilitates identification and quick gear switching.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -40°C to +70°C allows use of the switch in various climatic conditions.

Technical parameters in practice

Rated power of 8 kW at 400 V (AC-3) means that this switch is suitable for motors of medium power, often found in light industry and workshops. Continuous rated current of 16 A ensures stable operation of the device for a long time without the risk of overheating or damage. Vibration and shock resistance (compliant with IEC standards) ensures the switch maintains reliability even in difficult operating conditions. Screw connection of the main contacts guarantees a secure and durable connection of the power supply cables.
