Overview
The Allen-Bradley 194R-C30-1753 is a heavy-duty rotary disconnect switch from Rockwell Automation’s 194R product line. Designed for industrial machinery control and equipment isolation, this 30-ampere, 3-pole switch operates at 600V AC and accommodates UL Class CC cartridge fuses. The switch delivers reliable branch circuit protection and manual isolation in manufacturing, food processing, and material handling environments.
Key Features
- Touch-safe rotary design eliminates accidental contact with live parts
- OSHA-compliant padlocking provision for lockout/tagout (LOTO) safety procedures
- UL Class CC fuse cartridge configuration for fast, coordinated protection
- 3-pole contact configuration (1 NO + 1 NC per phase) for flexible control logic
- Rated for motor loads up to 20 hp at 600V DC and 15 hp at 480V AC
Technical Specifications
- Rated Current: 30 amperes
- Voltage: 600V AC (rated); also suitable for 250V DC, 125V DC, 480V AC, 240V AC, 120V AC applications
- Number of Poles: 3 poles
- Fuse Type: UL Class CC, HRCI (High Rupture Capacity Indicator) miscellaneous fuses
- Conductor Size: 14–12 AWG terminal lugs
- Contact Configuration: 1 NO (normally open), 1 NC (normally closed) per pole
- Certifications: UL listed, CSA certified; compliant with IEC 60947-3, VDE, DIN, BS, and NEMA standards
- Weight: 1.75 lb
- Indicator: No status indication (standard base model)
- Handle: None on base model (optional pistol handles available on configured variants)
Typical Applications
The 194R-C30-1753 is widely used for:
- Main branch circuit disconnects in control cabinets
- Motor starter isolation and bypass switching
- Food processing and material handling equipment protection
- Industrial machinery LOTO procedures and emergency shutdown circuits
- Electrical equipment room panel disconnects
Compatibility & Replacements
The 194R-C30-1753 integrates seamlessly into existing Rockwell Automation control systems. Configured variants include the 194R-C30-1753-PYS1 (with standard pistol red/yellow handle and 12-inch S1 shaft) and 194R-C30-1753-PYS2 (with 21-inch S2 shaft). For systems requiring fuse status indication, kitted models such as the 194R-C30-1753S-PBN2 are available. This part is a direct equivalent to other Allen-Bradley 194R Class CC fused switches in the same amperage class and is commonly interchanged in retrofits where identical specification is required.
