Description

This heavy-duty safety switch from Schneider Electric is engineered to offer optimal performance and reliability for electrical control systems. Designed for a voltage rating of 240V and capable of handling up to 200A, it features a robust three-pole configuration that ensures secure and efficient circuit isolation. The NEMA 1 enclosure provides essential protection against dust and incidental contact, while the integrated viewing window allows for easy monitoring of operational status without compromising safety. This combination of features makes it an ideal choice for various industrial applications where safety and durability are paramount.

Features

This heavy-duty VisiPacT switch features a factory-installed viewing window built directly into the front cover, allowing operators to visually verify that the contact blades are fully disconnected before opening the enclosure.
This 200A, 240V AC/250V DC single-throw switch comes fully equipped with a factory-installed solid neutral assembly that is pre-bonded to the NEMA 1 enclosure.
The line and load terminals are equipped with rugged, factory-installed mechanical lugs that securely accommodate a wide wiring range from 6 AWG up to 250 kcmil copper or aluminum conductors. Complete with a pre-installed equipment grounding kit and clearly specified torque ratings, the spacious enclosure layout ensures electrical contractors have plenty of knuckle room to route thick conductors and complete code-compliant terminations efficiently.
