Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1494V-DS200 is a 3-pole, variable-depth, flange-mounted disconnect switch kit designed for industrial power isolation in motor control centers, panels, and equipment. Rated for 200 Amps at 660 Volts AC or 250 Volts DC, this non-fusible switch provides a reliable means of manually disconnecting circuits for maintenance and safety. The unit was discontinued by the manufacturer on May 31, 2019; however, surplus inventory remains available from authorized industrial distributors.

Typical Applications
The 1494V-DS200 is part of Allen-Bradley’s 1494V disconnect switch family, engineered for durable power isolation in motor control centers, panels, and industrial equipment. It serves as the core switching mechanism in a flange-mounted disconnect system for motor control centers or industrial panels, is rated for 200 A and supports both AC and DC applications, and allows safe disconnection of loads during maintenance or emergency shutdown.
