Cam switch 40A, Disconnector 0-1 (2-pole), panel mounting front yellow-grey knob red SK40-1.828\P04

Cam switch for panel mounting – reliable circuit switching

This 2-pole cam switch, designed for panel mounting, is a robust solution for frequent switching of electrical circuits. Made of durable plastic, it ensures long-lasting and reliable operation in various conditions. Characteristic C allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, making it well-suited for starting devices with a motor.

Construction and application

The SK40-1.828\P04 switch is a device used for manual disconnection and connection of electrical circuits. It finds application in control cabinets, switchgear and in machines and equipment requiring frequent power switching. Mounting is done with four self-tapping screws, which simplifies installation and ensures stability. The switch front is yellow-grey with a red knob, making it easier to identify and operate. The IP65 protection class guarantees resistance to dust and water jets, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial conditions.

Key features and benefits

• Durable construction: The housing made of high-quality plastic provides resistance to mechanical damage and external factors.
• High resistance to environmental conditions: IP65 protection class protects against the influence of dust and water, increasing reliability in difficult working conditions.
• Adapted for frequent switching: The switch design ensures smooth and reliable operation even at high switching frequencies.
• Easy installation: Mounting on four self-tapping screws simplifies installation and removal of the device.
• Wide range of applications: Ideal for control cabinets, switchgear and industrial machines and equipment.
• Rated continuous current 40A: Allows for safe loading of circuits with higher power.
• Rated switching power AC-3: 12 kW (400V): Enables control of motors up to 12 kW at 400V.
• Safety of use: Provides effective protection of the installation against overload and short circuit - like most switches in this class.

Technical parameters in practice

The rated continuous current of 40A allows operation of devices requiring significant power consumption, and the rated switching power AC-3 of 12 kW at 400V enables control of medium-sized electric motors. The lack of auxiliary contacts makes the switch simpler to operate and more reliable. The housing material - plastic - provides good electrical insulation and corrosion resistance. Indirect mounting provides flexibility when installing in different configurations.
