GEN3 S3P63 63A 3 Pole 500V Weatherproof Surface Switch IP66

Description

The highest-current three-pole weatherproof switch in the range.

The GEN3 S3P63 is a 63A, 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 63A, 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 S3P63 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 high-current three-phase equipment such as large motors, pumps and machinery, where all phases must be disconnected together for safe operation or maintenance.

63A for the Heaviest Loads

At 63A and accepting cable from 10mm² up to 16mm², the S3P63 is the highest-rated switch in this three-pole range, handling heavier three-phase loads than the 50A S3P50 or the lower-rated siblings. It is a robust isolating switch for the most demanding three-phase circuits in exposed locations.

Built for the Outdoors

Rated IP66, the S3P63 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 S3P63?
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 S3P63 and the S3P50?
A: The current rating. The S3P63 is 63A and the S3P50 is 50A. Both are 3-pole 500V IP66 weatherproof switches accepting cable from 10mm² to 16mm².

Q: What cable size does the S3P63 accept?
A: It accepts cable from 10mm² up to 16mm².
