Considerations When Selecting Your Panelboard Switch

Amperage and Voltage Ratings:

Check that the amperage and voltage ratings of the panelboard switch match the particular needs of your electrical system. To avoid overloading and to guarantee safe and efficient operation, choose a switch that can manage the maximum current and voltage of your application.

Application Compatibility:

Understand the specific application your panelboard switch is designed for. Switches are made for a range of applications, like main disconnects, motor control, and lighting circuits. Understanding the specific needs of your application helps you select a switch that's designed to meet the needs of your electrical system.

Type of Protection:

Consider the type of protection supplied by the panelboard switch. Fusible switches use fuses to protect against overcurrent, while non-fusible switches use different protective devices. Consider the level of protection needed for your system and select a switch that meets safety and regulatory standards.

Enclosure Type and Environment:

Inspect the environment where your panelboard is placed. Environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and corrosive chemicals are why different enclosure styles are available. To ensure the switch's lifetime and reliability, choose an enclosure suited to your installation location.

New, Refurbished, or Surplus Options:

Find a cost-effective solution for your budget and needs. New panelboard switches include the latest tech and come with warranties, while refurbished choices are completely tested and restored to like-new standards. Surplus switches save money and could be useful for less sensitive applications. Consider the trade-off between your budget and the performance and dependability needed for your application.

What Type of Panelboard Switch Do You Need?

Main Breaker Panelboard Switches: Include a built-in main circuit breaker, serving as the primary disconnect for the entire electrical panel. Used in residential and commercial applications.

Branch Circuit Panelboard Switches: Designed for specific circuits. Control individual branches of electrical circuits within a panel. Used in homes, offices, and industrial settings.

Fusible Panelboard Switches: Equipped with fuses for circuit protection. Prevent overcurrent situations in industrial and commercial places needing precise protection.

Non-Fusible Panelboard Switches: Similar to fusible switches but without fuses. Rely on other protective devices in the circuit. Used where fuses are not practical or necessary.

Motor Control Panelboard Switches: Specially designed for controlling electric motors. Ubiquitous in industrial situations for precise control over motor operations.

Lighting Panelboard Switches: Suited for controlling lighting circuits. Common in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to manage lighting systems efficiently.

Distribution Panelboard Switches: Used in electrical distribution panels. Help control and distribute power to various circuits within a panelboard.

Industrial Panelboard Disconnect Switches: Common in industrial settings, serve as a disconnect switch for panelboards. Provide safe power isolation during maintenance or emergencies.

Power Distribution Panelboard Switches: Similar to distribution panelboard switches. Focused on managing the power distribution within a panelboard, giving efficient and reliable power delivery.

Generator Panelboard Transfer Switches: Designed for panelboards connected to generators. Facilitate seamless transfer of power sources for continuity during power outages. Also power stability when switching between main power and backup generators.
