Europa 500A three-pole switched-neutral switch-disconnector rated AC-23 at 400 V, supplied in an IP65 steel enclosure with a door-interlocked handle. The door cannot be opened while the switch is on, giving a safe, lockable isolation point for motors, plant and sub-mains.
- 500A switch-disconnector, AC-23 at 400 V
- Door interlock stops the enclosure being opened with the switch on
- Switched neutral, early make/late break
- IP65 steel enclosure (indoor use)
- Genuine Europa, EN 60947-1 and -3

Product details
For sub-mains and larger plant, the Europa 500A 3-pole + switched neutral switch-disconnector brings the isolator, the enclosure and the safety interlock together in one IP65 steel unit that is ready to wire.
Key features
- Door interlock: the door cannot be opened with the switch ON, and the switch cannot be closed with the door open
- Switched neutral with an early make, late break neutral contact
- IP65 steel enclosure for mechanical robustness
Typical applications
Typical duties are feeder isolation to large motors and pump sets, and incoming isolation on a sub-main. The steel enclosure is indoor-only, so it suits switchrooms and factory walls rather than exposed positions. 500 A is the size to reach for when one feeder carries a whole production area or plant room. Switched neutral means all four conductors are broken by the handle. The neutral contact is early make, late break, so it is never first to open.
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.
