March 17, 2011 - Gladiator compact fusible switches have been added to AutomationDirect’s product offering of circuit protection devices. The single-pole, two-pole and triple-pole AC devices are available in Class CC and Midget fuse models; single-phase DC devices are also available. The 35mm DIN rail mountable switches’ compact size takes up only one-third the space of a molded circuit breaker and two-thirds the space of traditional fusible switches, saving space in control panels. The full voltage rating of up to 600 VAC (80 VDC) allows installation flexibility in many applications where feeder and branch circuit protection are required.
Equipped with lockout/tagout capability and finger safe construction, Gladiator switches promote safe workplace practices by preventing contact with live components. Open fuse indication provides faster troubleshooting and reduced downtime. Starting at $18, Class CC fuse models are UL98 listed and have a 200kA Short-Circuit Current Rating; Midget Class fuse models are UL 508 listed and have a 10kA Short-Circuit Current Rating. A 5A auxiliary contact with one normally-open and one normally-closed contact is also available for $9. AutomationDirect sells over 10,000 feature-packed products through its Online Automation Superstore and 2,750-page catalog.
The company offers its customers high-quality automation products at prices typically below the industry average, same-day shipping on in-stock items, the best documentation in the industry, outstanding sales and technical support, and a 30-day money-back guarantee on nearly every product.
