About

With the help of a rotor, spoke and multiple terminals, rotary switches are available to connect two or more electrical circuits. They deliver greater make – break throw capabilities, making them ideal for main on/off switch of electrical panels of different types of machineries and other telecommunication equipment.

Some of the types of rotary switches based on number of connections (polarity) are:

• Miniature rotary switch.
• 2 pole rotary coded switch.
• 4 pole rotary coded switch.
• 4 position rotary switch.
• Single Pole Rotary Switches.
• Double Pole Rotary Switches.

Other Ways to Differentiate Rotary Switch:

• ROTARY CAM SWITCH ( 6 – 20A, 25-32A, 40A, 63A : 440 VAC)
• ROTARY KNIFE SWITCH (10A : 220 VAC )
• ROTARY TYPE AUXILLIARY SWITCH (7.5A : 264VDC)

Applicable Directive

LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE – 2014/35/EU

Why Low Voltage Directive Applied?

The LVD covers health and safety risks on electrical equipment operating with an input or output voltage of between 50V and 1000 V for A.C. and 75V and 1500 V for D.C.
It applies to a wide range of electrical equipment for both consumer and professional usage, such as:

• Household appliances
• Cables
• Power supply units
• Laser equipment

To place product in European Market, product must ensure health and safety requirements as per EU legislation process.

Applicable Harmonized Standard

EN 60947-3:2009+A1:2012: Low-Voltage Switchgear and Control Gear – Part 3: Switches, Disconnectors, Switch-Disconnectors and Fuse-Combination units.
