How to select the right AC switch disconnector

Function and applications

Safe switching, isolation and maintenance

AC switch disconnectors are used in alternating-current applications where circuits must be switched or reliably isolated for maintenance. Typical applications include machinery, production systems, distribution boards and industrial installations.

Current ranges and poles

From compact switches to high power

The plica range extends from compact versions starting at 16 A to high-performance switch disconnectors up to 1600 A. Depending on the switching task, multipole and 3P+N variants are available.

Protection and operational safety

Protection and locking matched to the application

Depending on the variant, compact TP versions provide IP66/IP69 and IK09. The recessed rotary handle clearly indicates the switching position. General versions may be lockable in OFF and ON depending on the model. Emergency versions can be secured in OFF with up to three padlocks.

Installation and wiring

More space and flexible cable entry

A generous wiring space simplifies connection. The reversible base, drilling marks and break-through cable entries support flexible and service-friendly wall mounting.

Standards and technical selection

Always check the data for each variant

Depending on the version, the TP Series is designed according to EN IEC 60947-3 and EN IEC 60947-1. Rated current, utilisation category, pole configuration, conductor size, protection rating and short-circuit performance must be checked in the relevant product data sheet.

Key selection criteria

The correct switch is not selected by rated current alone. The application, environment and safety concept also need to be considered.

Current type

Select AC for alternating current. Use a suitable DC switch disconnector for photovoltaic and other direct-current applications.

Current and power

Match rated current, utilisation category and motor power to the actual load.

Pole configuration

Select the appropriate multipole or 3P+N version for the installation.

Protection rating

Match IP protection and impact resistance to dust, water, cleaning and mechanical stress.

Operating concept

Clearly distinguish between general switching, maintenance switching and emergency applications.

Locking

Consider the number of padlocks and lockable switching positions in the safety concept.

AC or DC switch disconnector?

This page presents switch disconnectors for alternating-current applications. A dedicated DC switch disconnector must be used for direct-current applications, particularly photovoltaic systems.

Note: protection rating, impact resistance, voltage range and locking functions depend on the series and version. The relevant product data sheet is authoritative.
