About SOCOMEC HPL COS 125A CHANGEOVER SWITCH
A changeover switch is designed to transfer a house (or business) electricity from the commercial power grid to a local generator when n outage occurs. Also known as transfer switches, they connect directly to the generator, commercial power supply or line, and the house.Secure and Reliable OperationThe SOCOMEC HPL COS 125A Changeover Switch is engineered for safe, seamless transition between power sources. Its mechanical interlock mechanism prevents any risk of simultaneous connections, ensuring uninterrupted and secure operation for facilities that demand high reliability. The rotary handle allows easy and controlled manual switching.
Versatile and Durable BuildManufactured using high-grade engineering plastic and metal, the switch offers longevity and resilience. Designed for standard panel mounting, it fits easily into most electrical panels, with a compact size that ensures installation flexibility for distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers.
Optimized for EfficiencyWith a maximum current capacity of 125A and compatibility for 50 mm2 cables, the COS 125A is ideal for heavy-duty applications. Its fast response time and high insulation resistance contribute to operational efficiency, saving downtime and maintaining consistent performance.
FAQ's of SOCOMEC HPL COS 125A CHANGEOVER SWITCH:
Q: How does the interlocking mechanism of the SOCOMEC HPL COS 125A Changeover Switch enhance safety?
A: The built-in interlocking mechanism ensures that only one power source can be connected at a time, effectively eliminating any risk of simultaneous supply connections, which greatly enhances operational safety.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the SOCOMEC COS 125A Changeover Switch in industrial applications?
A: This switch provides reliable power source changeover with rapid manual operation, robust build quality, and compliance with IEC 60947-3 standards, ensuring safety and continuity for critical operations in challenging environments.
Q: When is it appropriate to use this changeover switch?
A: The switch is suitable for environments requiring coordinated power management, such as during power outages or when alternating between main and backup generators in commercial or industrial settings.
Q: Where can the COS 125A Changeover Switch be installed?
A: It is specifically designed for standard panel mounting in distribution boards, switchboards, or any electrical panels where three-phase changeover is required.
Q: What cable size and current rating does the SOCOMEC COS 125A support?
A: This model accommodates cable sizes up to 50 mm2 and supports a maximum current rating of 125A for robust power distribution.
Q: How does the rotary operation mode work?
A: The rotary handle allows straightforward manual switching between ON-OFF-ON positions, giving the operator clear tactile feedback and control during changeover procedures.
Q: What advantages does the high insulation resistance and low contact resistance provide?
A: High insulation resistance (>1000 M) offers excellent protection against leakage currents, while low contact resistance (<2 m) minimizes energy loss, both contributing to the reliability and efficiency of the switch.
