GEN3 S3P50 50A 3 Pole 500V Weatherproof Surface Switch IP66

Description

A heavy-duty three-pole weatherproof switch for three-phase circuits.

The GEN3 S3P50 is a 50A, 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. At 50A, it is the highest-current switch in this three-pole range, suiting the heaviest three-phase equipment and accepting cable up to 16mm². Moulded in the Series 56 style from durable PCA18 virgin-grade plastic, it stands up to dust, water and the demands of harsh sites.

Three-Pole Switching

The S3P50 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.

50A for the Heaviest Loads

At 50A and accepting cable from 10mm² up to 16mm², the S3P50 is the highest-rated switch in this three-pole range, handling heavier three-phase loads than the 32A S3P32 or 20A S3P20. It is a robust isolating switch for the most demanding three-phase circuits in exposed locations.

Built for the Outdoors

Rated IP66, the S3P50 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 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 S3P50?
A: It switches three poles at once, breaking all three phases of a three-phase supply together for switching or full isolation.

Q: What is the difference between the S3P50, S3P32 and S3P20?
A: The current rating and cable capacity. The S3P50 is 50A (cable 10–16mm²), the S3P32 is 32A (4–16mm²) and the S3P20 is 20A (2.5–6mm²). All are 3-pole 500V IP66 weatherproof switches.

Q: What cable size does the S3P50 accept?
A: It accepts cable from 10mm² up to 16mm².
