This Compact INS250-160 is a 3 poles non-automatic switch-disconnector with red rotary handle and yellow front. It is suitable for isolation with positive contact indication, as defined by IEC 60947-1 and IEC60947-3 standards. The operational current is 200A at 415VAC in categories AC22A and AC23A. The rated voltage is 690VAC 50/60Hz or 125VDC with 2 Poles in series. It can be used as an emergency-off device. For easy identification, it uses special colours stipulated by the standards. The red rotary handle is designed to offer easy operation and high performance in interruption of currents. Compact INS250-160 is a class II insulation level front-face device as per IEC 60664 standard.
