Overview
The Eaton Moeller P1-32 is a 32A, 3-pole switch-disconnector engineered for reliable main circuit isolation and motor disconnect applications. Rated up to 690 V AC and 32 A, it supports up to 18.5 kW at 500 V (AC-23A) and 13 kW at 400 V (AC-3), providing dependable performance for motor disconnect and branch circuit isolation. Rated for 690 V AC with a 6 kV impulse withstand voltage, the switch complies with IEC/EN 60947-3, IEC/EN 60204, VDE 0660, UL, and CSA standards. This unit is well-suited for both new installations and replacement applications in industrial control panels.
