Schneider Electric EIK031 General Duty Safety Switch 60A, SPDT, UL Listed, Mercury Free

Description

Features

• Engineered as a protective control circuit mechanism, this electrical interlock kit triggers a robust 1 NO / 1 NC (SPDT contact configuration) microswitch via an integrated mechanical pivot arm. When an operator pulls the disconnect handle, the pivot arm instantly breaks the low-voltage control circuit loop before the high-voltage main switch blades physically separate. For industrial facility managers and maintenance electricians, this proactive sequencing cuts off power to downstream motor starters and VFDs, ensuring the main line is fully de-energized ahead of time and completely eliminating dangerous under-load arc flash hazards.
• The assembly is purpose-built for seamless drop-in integration with Square D by Schneider Electric Series F general-duty 60 Amp switches, as well as Series F5/F6 heavy-duty safety switches.
• Carrying complete CSA certified safety stamps, this interlock kit satisfies all regulatory safety directives for industrial safety controls across Canada and the United States. Adding this kit to a compatible Square D switch preserves the enclosure's original UL safety listing, streamlining compliance audits for plant safety committees and providing independent municipal electrical inspectors with a straightforward pathway to clear final system validations.
