Heavy Duty Safety Switches

Heavy Duty (Type MH) switches are designed for commercial and industrial applications where safety and superior reliability are essential. The maximum voltage is 600 Vac / 250 Vdc. Our Heavy Duty switches provide superior endurance performance and, when used with Class R or J fuses, 30-600amps switches have a UL listed short-circuit rating of 200KAIC. They are UL listed as service equipment when installed in accordance with the National Electric Code.


All heavy duty safety switches are UL and cUL listed (UL98 Enclosed Switches) and meet NEMA Enclosed Safety Switch Standard KS1-2013, and also meet Federal Specification WS-865C.
