The Eaton disconnect switch PN1-100 is an industrial switching and disconnecting device for use in distribution systems. It features a grey housing and is designed as a 3-pole disconnect switch, making it suitable for three-phase AC installations. The switch provides safe electrical disconnection of circuits and meets insulation requirements even for earthed IT networks, making it suitable for applications in industrial and commercial electrical installations.

Disconnect switch with type designation PN1-100 are specifically designed for use in distribution enclosures and control enclosures. They enable safe and visible disconnection of the circuit, allowing maintenance and inspections to be carried out under safe conditions. The disconnecting characteristics comply with standards IEC/EN 60947-3 and VDE 0660, ensuring electrical safety and reliability in operation.

Properties of the main switch include a mandatory drive mechanism specified according to IEC/EN 60204 and VDE 0113. This mechanism ensures that the switch remains in the desired position and does not unintentionally change to another position, which is particularly important for safety requirements. The busbar cover complies with VDE 0160 Part 100, providing additional protection against contact and short circuits.

Additional equipment allows individual adaptation of the disconnect switch to various installation scenarios. This includes, for example, bridge kits, connection terminals, and rotary handles for door couplings, enabling flexible mounting in different distribution systems. The PN1-100 series is not designed for remote control functions, meaning it can only be operated manually.

Compatibility and accessories include various supplementary components for adapting to specific requirements. These include, for example, rotary handles such as NZM1-XTVDVR-60 or NZM1-XTVDV, which are lockable and thus provide additional protection against unauthorized access. Other options include extension shafts such as NZM1-XV6 with a length of 600 mm, additional handles (NZM1/2-XDZ), and control cable connectors such as NZM-XSTK or NZM1-XSTS. Insulating housing (e.g. NZM1-XCI23-TVD) and tunnel terminals (NZM1-XKAM) support safe and orderly integration into existing switchgear installations.

Mounting and installation take place in typical distribution enclosures, with the exact mounting method depending on the respective enclosure construction and the accessories used. The use of additional handles, cable-operated actuators (NZM-XBZ600), or mounting kits (e.g. NZM1-XHB-DAR-V6-NA) allows application-specific adaptation, for example for use in door connections or special access requirements. Mounting is typically done using screw or clamp connections, with the connection terminals supporting the required cross-sections (e.g. 6x16 mm²).

Operational advantages include high safety through visible disconnection, reliability through compliance with standards, and flexibility through modular expansion options. The disconnect switch is designed for use in industrial environments and offers a robust construction that meets the requirements of production plants, machine controls, or distribution systems. The use of lockable rotary handles increases safety during operation and prevents unintentional actuation.

The colour Grey is standard and corresponds to the usual finish for industrial switching devices.
