Eaton 000694

The Reversing Switch T3-3-8401/EZ is engineered for center mounting and operates at a rated current of 32 A. This device features three contact units with a total of five maintained contacts, providing a 0 (Off) position and a switching angle of 60 °. The design number associated with this switch is 8401.

Constructed from plastic, the switch has dimensions of 124 mm in length, 61 mm in width, and 54 mm in height. It weighs 0.233 kg and adheres to various standards including CE and IEC/EN 60947-3. It offers a high degree of protection with a rating of IP65, suitable for use in demanding environments.

Its operational capabilities include a maximum ambient temperature of 50 °C and a minimum of -25 °C. The actuator type is a short thumb grip, ensuring ease of operation. The switch also accommodates various motor powers depending on voltage and phase, supporting up to 10 HP at 575/600 V for three-phase applications.

For enhanced reliability, the control circuit is designed for a failure rate of 1 per 100,000 switching operations at 24 V DC and 10 mA. The switch is suitable for branch circuits and motor disconnect applications, as per UL/CSA standards, ensuring safe isolation up to 440 V AC between contacts.

This switch is particularly suited for industrial applications that require frequent operation, with a mechanical lifespan rated for 500,000 operations and an operating frequency of 1200 operations per hour. The device also meets numerous criteria for mechanical impact...
