Selector Switches

[fifty60]

Any recommendations on selector switches? I have inductive loads (solenoids, motors) and resistive loads (heaters), but I will not be controlling any of them directly via this selector switch. I will removing power to relays and contactors controlling the inductive loads with the selector switch. I nice solid 10A rated contacts is exactly what I need.

I like the below if they were only neatly labled with "ON/Off" I would end my search. This is the Eaton M22 series. Any recommendations?

For those types of switches you typically order the appropriate legend plate. Installs between the mounting panel and the trim ring.

Start looking on page 232 of the catalog:

Ah, excellent. I was looking at the catalog and only found the types that had the legend plate, but I had to print the label to go on the plate. Made it look cheap, but I definitely like the ones on page 232 thanks.

AB, GE, Siemens, Omron, Idec, and a bunch of others have very similar units.

I like AB, the 800FM line is the one that looks like that. :thumbsup:

But they send me a paycheck every other week, that tends to bias my opinion.... :angel:

I like those and we use a lot of their stuff. The supplier I use will engrave the legend plates for a reasonable cost.

we use a lot of the ab 800f stuff because it is the least expensive for us.

but we also use some of the siemens stuff that is similar because we have a customer that prefers it.

and some idec as well because another customer wants that brand.

they are seem to work about as well.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to screw up a switch...

I don't know...been having a lot of trouble with 800T adder blocks since they started making them in China.
