Eaton P1-32/EA/SVB-SW/HI11 3-Pole Main Switch, 32 A, 690 V AC, Surface Mount, IP65, Black 012772

Industrial environments demand robust disconnect solutions that ensure safe isolation and reliable switching under load. The Eaton P1-32/EA/SVB-SW/HI11 main switch answers this need with a 3-pole, 32 A design rated for 690 V AC, delivering dependable ON/OFF control for motors, machinery, and distribution circuits. Its surface-mounted enclosure with IP65 protection withstands dust and water jets, making it suitable for harsh conditions. The lockable rotary handle adds safety during maintenance, while auxiliary contacts (1 NO + 1 NC) enable status signalling or interlocking. Compliant with IEC/EN 60947, this switch is a trusted component for industrial installations.
