Overview
The 5TE1 switch disconnectors are available from 100 A to
200 A in 3 and 4-pole versions and can be used as main control
switches, repair switches, outgoing feeder switches and emer-
gency mains switching off device.
The series corresponds to the requirements of IEC/EN 60947-3
and its key features are its compact and robust design, high
short-circuit strength, high DC breaking capacity and compre-
hensive accessories.
Its small footprint means it is easy to install in all types of
enclosures, distribution boards and control cabinets.
The devices are approved to UL 508 and KEMA certified.
■
Benefits
• Transparent enclosures ensure that the contact position is
always visible
• Contacts with double breaks ensure reliable insulation
characteristics
• Can be locked in the OFF position to allow for maintenance
work.
• With a red knob and yellow cap, it can also be used as an
emergency switching off device.
