The quality you have come to rely on
Safety First
VisiPacT safety switches are, above all else,
built to increase safety. Visible blades are an
important feature, and they must be visible in
real-world conditions to visually verify that the
downstream circuit is de-energized. Our switch
blades are easily visible, even in the less-
than-ideal lighting conditions where electrical
equipment is often installed.
A viewing window adds another degree of safety
through visual verification of switch position
without the need to open the door.
In addition, VisiPacT safety switches include
an oversized arc suppressor, which breaks the
load by eectively attenuating the arc for a clean
interruption.
All handles on VisiPacT safety switches (except
on NEMA 4X) come standard with hook stick
compatibility to add an extra layer of safety when
exercising the switch.
Designed for Long-Term Durability
Rugged construction and corrosion protection
provide the industry’s longest lasting switches.
Galvannealed steel in all single-throw Type
3R and 12 enclosures provides superior
corrosion protection. Type 4X seam-welded
enclosures help extend equipment life by
providing excellent environmental and corrosion
protection without the use of a silicone
sealer, which can be incompatible with some
manufacturing processes.
Managing temperatures inside the switch
is essential to providing greater service life.
VisiPacT safety switches feature more copper
than other switches available on the market
today. This larger amount of copper is one of
the reasons VisiPacT safety switches have lower
operating temperatures.
Heat is not the only factor that impacts switch
life. The enclosed operating mechanism design
of VisiPacT safety switches reduces the amount
of dust and other contaminants that shorten the
mechanism’s operating life.
A Full Range of Accessories
VisiPacT safety switches feature a complete oering of accessories,
available field-installable. Field-installable accessory options include
neutral kit, ground lugs, electrical interlocks, Class “R” fuse rejection kits,
compression terminals, and conduit hubs.
VisiPacT oers factory modifications on the Type 12 enclosures and Type 4X
enclosures. The factory modifications are key interlocks, lock-on feature, line
&/or load voltage monitors, and remove standard viewing window.
Ecient Installation
Our time-saving design features make installation quick and easy.
VisiPacT safety switches feature quick-release cover latches that are easier to
operate than screwfasteners. On Type 4X and Type 12 switches, this design
feature ensures a better gasket seal — a critical feature in adverse operating
conditions — than is available with designs that rely on screwfastened covers.
