Cam switch 40A, Dahlander two-speed switch, in OB13 enclosure. SK40-4.8390\OB13

Universal cam switch for demanding applications

This two-speed Dahlander switch, with a rated current of 40A, is a robust solution for controlling motors and other electrical loads. The OB13 housing construction provides high resistance to environmental and mechanical conditions, making it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end users. The switch allows you to change the direction of rotation or speed of the motor, offering flexibility in controlling various applications.

Construction and application in practice

The cam switch is designed to operate in circuits with a rated insulation voltage of up to 690V and has an IP65 protection class, which guarantees safe use even in harsh conditions. Made of durable plastic, it is resistant to mechanical damage and corrosion. The Dahlander switch is widely used in controlling electric motors, heating systems and other devices requiring a change in direction or mode of operation. The possibility of panel mounting (although not intended for installation in distribution boards) facilitates integration with existing systems.

Key features and benefits

• High reliability: Rated continuous current of 40A and short-circuit current of 10kA ensure safe and stable operation of the device.
• Versatility: The Dahlander switch allows you to change the direction of rotation or mode of operation of the motor, which increases its functionality.
• Resistance to external conditions: IP65 protection class protects against dust and moisture, enabling operation in harsh industrial conditions.
• Easy installation: Screw connection of the main contacts facilitates connection of wires, and the solid housing ensures stable mounting.
• Safety: Mechanical endurance of 3 million switching cycles guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation of the device.
• Adapted to different needs: Availability of various configurations (e.g. 2-pole) allows you to choose the appropriate model for a specific application.
• Rated operating power: The switch provides power up to 12kW at 400V (AC-3), allowing control of most standard loads.

Remember that choosing the right cam switch is crucial for the safety and efficiency of the electrical installation. This model offers a combination of reliability, versatility and resistance to external conditions, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
