£33.66
Why Choose the IMO PE69-3040 Enclosed Isolator Switch?
The IMO PE69-3040 is a robust 3-pole enclosed switch disconnector designed to provide safe and dependable electrical isolation for industrial machinery, motor circuits, commercial equipment and automation systems. Part of the established IMO 69 Series, this on-load isolator enables electrical supplies to be securely disconnected during maintenance, servicing and emergency shutdown procedures.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the PE69-3040 combines a durable enclosed construction with an interlocked rotary operating handle. Its IP66 and NEMA 4X protection helps shield the internal switching components from dust and water ingress, while the padlockable OFF position supports effective lockout procedures and helps prevent accidental reconnection.
With a rated operational current of 40 A, 3-pole switching and a motor switching capacity of up to 15 kW at 380–440 V AC, the IMO PE69-3040 is suitable for isolating motors, pumps, fans, conveyors, HVAC equipment and production machinery supplied by three-phase electrical systems.
