Suitable for outside use and in 'wet' environments, Telergon enclosed changeover switches from specialist distributor Switchtec have been designed with the end user in mind, offering safety and security in aesthetically pleasing housings.
/> Developed and designed following detailed input from Switchtec whose knowledge of the UK market enabled them to specify a unit specifically for use in the country, the enclosed mains switches offer a no compromise solution.

The switches are housed in weather resistant polycarbonate boxes that contribute to an excellent product environment rating of IP65. The most important application areas are those for switching between mains and generator sourced 240VAC supplies. Such switches are often mounted on walls in unheated industrial sheds, factory outbuildings and even on machines themselves, so resistance to water ingress is paramount.

The units are well suited for use by panel builders, generator manufacturers, generator accessory suppliers, equipment and machine manufacturers, and in H&V applications.

Telergon's enclosed changeover switches from Switchtec are available in 20A, 40A, 63A and 100A ratings. These units feature enclosure sizes of 94x94x80mm, 180x110x111mm, 180x180x111mm, and 180x180x165 respectively.

Offering versatility, the switches are available in two-pole format for single-phase applications, and four-pole format for three phase applications. Each enclosure includes an earth and ground terminal, separate to the main switched contacts. All of the enclosed changeover switches are supplied with a rotary operating handle that is padlockable in the off position. This feature is often an added extra from competitors, but standard on these switches from Telergon.

Designed with the customer in mind, Telergon have used a quality polycarbonate plastic enclosure in which to mount their switches. Providing a better aesthetic appearance and strong construction, the enclosures are supplied with multiple sized knockouts for ease of installation.

Of interest to buyers and specifiers who purchase for equipments destined for use in overseas contracts, the switches are fully approved for UL, CSA, Kema Keur and CE certified applications. Telergon enclosed changeover switches are available ex stock from Switchtec on 24hr delivery, and with full technical backup from field and HQ based technical personnel.
