★ Enclosures not UL listed
International Acceptance
UL Listed, CSA C, IEC Rated, CE Marked, and most other applicable international standards.
UL508 , CSA 22.2 No. 14 - UL File # E164864 CCN NLRV, CSA File # LR81630 Class 3211 02.
Suitable for use in equipment or machinery as manual motor controllers and are horsepower and ampere rated.
IEC
Tested in accordance to IEC 947-3, IEC 529, and IEC 695-2-1.
CE
Compliance with the European Machine Directive IEC204.
Applications Mini-Vario and Vario rotary manual motor control switches from 12 to 175 A are suitable for on-load making and breaking of resistive or
mixed resistive and inductive circuits where frequent operation is required.They can also be used for direct switching of motors in
utilization categories AC-3 and DC-3 specific to motors.Vario manual motor control switches are suitable for isolator applications with
fully visible indication (since the handle cannot be in the open position unless all the contacts are actually open and separated by the
appropriate isolating distance) and it is possible to padlock the handles.
