Schneider Electric Safety Switches

Schneider Electric safety switches are electrical disconnect switches used to provide a means of isolation to equipment, machinery, and circuits for maintenance, repair, or other service situations, as well as in emergency conditions. Safety switches for use in industrial, commercial, and utility applications are built by Schneider Electric and are designed to provide a means of disconnecting power to equipment and provide a visual indication of the power connection status to help ensure personnel safety.

General purpose, heavy duty, fusible, and non-fusible safety switches are offered by Schneider Electric. Fusible safety switches are built with fuses to provide overcurrent protection while non-fusible safety switches are designed to be used with upstream overcurrent protection. Lockout/tagout handles are often provided with safety switches from Schneider Electric. Auxiliary contacts are used on some safety switches to remotely indicate the position of the disconnect switch. Auxiliary contacts can be used with control circuits and safety logic to improve the overall safety of the application.

Schneider Electric safety switches are used to comply with electrical codes that require a disconnecting means and to improve maintenance safety and reliability by providing a visible means of disconnect. Safety switches from Schneider Electric are easy to install, are available with a wide range of voltage and current ratings, and are compatible with a wide range of other power distribution equipment. Safety switches are commonly found in manufacturing, water/wastewater, and other commercial infrastructure applications.
