Overview
The Allen-Bradley 194E-A25-1753 is a non-fused load disconnect switch designed for motor isolation and disconnect applications in industrial control systems. Rated at 25 amperes and 690 volts AC, this three-pole, two-position switch provides reliable ON-OFF control with a 90-degree throw. Supplied with the 194E-A-P11 auxiliary contact (Series B), this unit enables remote signaling and status monitoring, making it suitable for integrated motor control centers and distribution equipment.
