Product details
Europa's 160A 3-pole + switched neutral enclosed switch-disconnector handles local isolation on mid-size motors and sub-mains, with a door interlock that keeps the steel enclosure shut while the switch is live.
Key features
- Door interlock: the door cannot be opened with the switch ON, and the switch cannot be closed with the door open
- Padlockable handle for lock-off during maintenance
- Interlock defeat mechanism for authorised access with the switch closed
- Switched neutral with an early make, late break neutral contact
- IP65 steel enclosure for mechanical robustness
Typical applications
It suits local isolation of motors, compressors, chillers and production machinery, or a main switch ahead of a sub-board. Europa specify this steel enclosure for indoor use; for external or wash-down positions take the GRP or stainless version. 160 A is the usual entry point for a substantial motor or a small sub-distribution board. Choose the switched-neutral version where the neutral must be broken with the phases rather than left solidly connected; the neutral contact is early make, late break.
Compliance
Built to IEC and EN 60947-1 and 60947-3 for low-voltage switches and switch-disconnectors, with Bureau Veritas certification. IP65 means dust-tight, and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction.
