Product details
The Europa 500A 3-pole + switched neutral enclosed switch-disconnector is built for heavier feeders: an 500A load-break switch in an IP65 stainless steel enclosure, with a handle that will not release the door until the supply is off.
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 stainless steel enclosure for wash-down, hygienic and coastal environments
Typical applications
This is the specification for hygienic and corrosive environments at scale: process lines in food and drink manufacturing, pharmaceutical plant, wash-down areas and coastal or marine sites, where the enclosure has to survive cleaning chemicals and salt as well as the electrical duty. 500 A is the size to reach for when one feeder carries a whole production area or plant room. 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.
