Eaton Auxiliary Contact, 2 Contact, 1NC + 1NO, Side Mount

Eaton's isolator switch can sometimes be referred to as a switch disconnector, this is because it has been created and designed to safely isolate a circuit whilst it is being used or maintained. This isolator switch breaks or isolates a circuit through the rotation of the rotary handle and locking ring. This type of non-fused isolator switch will be found isolating circuit breakers, transmission lines, transformers and a multitude of other applications.

• The perfect solution for installing as a safety measure
• Used as an emergency switching off/emergency stop device
• The basic functions: used as a main switch, maintenance switch or manual override switch
• Thermoplastic, high impact surface mounting enclosure with an IP65 rating - this means that the enclosure part of the isolator has ingress protection against dust and is also protected against low-pressure jets of water that comes from all directions
• Built-in earth commoning block
• Lockable in the 0/OFF position, with up to three padlocks
• Totally insulated
• Red rotary handle and yellow locking ring, providing an aesthetically pleasing finish

Unlike fused switch disconnectors, a non-fuse isolator switch does not use a fuse to break or put a circuit into isolation, they instead use a rotary to disconnect or isolate a circuit.

Switch power/capacity refers to AC23A use at 380-440V

This auxiliary contact is specifically designed for use with the Eaton P1 and P3 series of Switch-Disconnectors.

Eaton's devices are compliant with the ErP directive meaning its energy-efficient options provide the potential for very significant savings in operational costs and will help you use energy in a more reliable, efficient, safe and sustainable way.

• Late-break switching-on behaviour, early-make switching-off behaviour
• The N/O is always connected as a load-shedding contact
• For left and/or right side mounting
• Screw type connecting terminals
• Contact current rating of 10 A
• Contact voltage rating of 500 V ac

Auxiliary contacts can be used across a multitude of applications, users will commonly find these contact blocks being used within industrial applications such as electric motor starters, control systems, control, power circuits and electrical signalling equipment.

An Auxiliary Contact block, or aux contact, is an electromechanical device that is mounted typically to contactors. They are physically connected to the contactor, with simultaneous activation and deactivation applying to both the contact block and the contactor at the same time.

Auxiliary contacts can be installed onto contactors either by front mounting, or side mounting. This is usually clear in the shape and size of the product, but please check the compatibility of your devices. Aux Contacts are really useful devices to aid in keeping an eye on the contactor.
