Fusible & Non-Fusible Disconnects

The Power Products line now includes 600 VAC / 250 VDC heavy-duty fusible and non-fusible electrical disconnects from Ferraz Shawmut. The new SIRCO and FUSERBLOC series meet UL98 standards and are UL, CSA, CE and IEC rated. The series is designed with the most up-to-date power disconnect technology available - "make and break" power circuits on load. In addition, a wide array of handles is available, meeting OSHA padlocking requirements, NEMA configurations, defeater options and NFPA 79 requirements.

These electrical disconnect switches fully comply with the following requirements of the NFPA79 standard*:

Isolate the electrical equipment from the supply circuit and have one "OFF" (open) and one "ON" (closed) position only
Have an external operating means
Be provided with a permanent means permitting it to be locked in the "OFF" (open) position only independent of door position
Be operable, by qualified persons, independent of the door position without the use of accessory tools or devices

All disconnect switch contacts work independently of the speed and force of the operator providing better electrical characteristics.

Switches up to 400 amps use silver-tipped contacts technology providing the following advantages:
Best solution for harsh environments
High on-load break characteristics
Longer mechanical and electrical life
Maintenance free switches without grease

Switches above 400 amp use a self cleaning moving technology allowing high short-circuit withstand.

IEC 947-3 standard
Positive opening operation safeguards users in the case of welded contacts due to an overload or short circuit. The handle cannot reach the "OFF" position unless the contacts are truly open. According to the IEC 947-3 standard**, if the contacts are welded due to an overload or short-circuit:

the switch will not reach the "OFF" position
and cannot be padlocked in this position as long as operating force applied to the operating mechanism is less then three times the standard operating force.
