GEN3 S3P20 20A 3 Pole 500V Weatherproof Surface Switch IP66

Description

A rugged three-pole weatherproof switch for three-phase circuits.

The GEN3 S3P20 is a 20A, 3-pole surface-mount switch rated 500V and IP66, built for outdoor, industrial and wash-down environments. As a three-pole switch it breaks all three phases at once, switching or isolating a three-phase load in a single action. Moulded in the Series 56 style from durable PCA18 virgin-grade plastic, it stands up to dust, water and the demands of harsh sites, making it well suited to controlling three-phase equipment on site.

Three-Pole Switching

The S3P20 switches three poles together, so it can break all three phases of a three-phase supply in one action. This makes it suitable for switching or isolating three-phase equipment such as motors, pumps and machinery, where all phases must be disconnected together for safe operation or maintenance.

Built for the Outdoors

Rated IP66, the S3P20 is dust-tight and withstands high-pressure water jets, and operates across a −25°C to +70°C range. Moulded from PCA18 virgin-grade plastic with 316 stainless steel springs and screws and high-copper brass internals, it accepts cable from 2.5mm² to 6mm² and is built for long service in exposed and demanding locations, covered by Australian/NZ approval or compliance certificates.

Q: What does 3-pole mean on the GEN3 S3P20?
A: It switches three poles at once, breaking all three phases of a three-phase supply together for switching or full isolation.

Q: Is the S3P20 a changeover or forward-reverse switch?
A: No. The S3P20 is a plain on/off 3-pole switch. GEN3 offers separate changeover (S3P20C-O) and forward/reverse (S3P20F-R) versions for those functions.

Q: What cable size does the S3P20 accept?
A: It accepts cable from 2.5mm² up to 6mm².
