Square D EIK032 Heavy Duty Safety Switch with Interlock, 60A, DPDT, UL Listed

Description

Features

• Featuring a robust DPDT configuration rated for 60 Amps, this safety switch allows industrial electricians to seamlessly isolate or transfer power between two independent sources or loads. This heavy-duty contact architecture ensures crisp, clean breaking under full load, preventing dangerous phase-to-phase short circuits and providing a reliable manual transfer solution for backup generators or dual-motor control systems.
• Built with a factory-engineered mechanical key interlock mechanism, this safety switch enforces a strict, fail-safe operational sequence. The interlock ensures the switch cannot be thrown-or the enclosure door opened-unless the specific safety key is inserted and turned. This bulletproof physical barrier eliminates human error, protecting maintenance crews from arc flash hazards and ensuring strict compliance with facility lockout-tagout (LOTO) safety protocols.
• Housed in a rugged, code-compliant industrial enclosure, the EIK032 is engineered to deflect heavy impacts, moisture, windblown dust, and corrosive airborne elements. The heavy-gauge steel construction and durable finish make it an ideal choice for placement on exposed commercial rooftops, aggregate processing plants, and washdown-heavy manufacturing floors, severely reducing structural degradation and extending equipment life.
• This safety switch utilizes highly visible blades that provide immediate, unmistakable visual confirmation of the circuit status when the enclosure door is opened. Backed by high-efficiency arc suppressors, the assembly rapidly snuffs out electrical arcing during high-current interruptions, preventing internal component degradation and providing an extra layer of physical safety for operators during routine switching tasks.
