General Duty Safety Switch
This Square D safety switch provides fusible circuit protection for light-duty applications. It operates at 30 A and 240 V AC on a single phase. The unit carries a UL Listed rating and is built for general duty use with plug-style fuses.
Indoor Metallic Enclosure Build
The NEMA Type 1 steel enclosure suits indoor installations where a 20 IP rating is acceptable. It measures 9.2 in high, 7.2 in wide and 3.6 in deep with a three-wire, two-pole 2PST contact form. Buyers needing outdoor-rated or higher ingress protection should look elsewhere.
3 hp Motor Rating at 240 V AC
The switch handles up to 3 hp at 240 V AC, making it suitable for small motor loads on this voltage. Installations requiring higher horsepower or a different phase configuration will need a different device.

Questions about this item
What does the 240 V AC rating cap in practice?
The switch is rated for 240 V AC single-phase and handles up to 3 hp at that voltage.
What clearance is needed for the 9.2 in by 7.2 in metallic enclosure?
The NEMA 1 steel enclosure measures 9.2 in high, 7.2 in wide and 3.6 in deep, so allow that footprint plus wiring space.
How is the fusible safety switch wired, and what step is often missed?
Connect the three wires to the two poles for 2PST operation and install the correct plug-style fuse; the fuse is not included and must be fitted before energising.
