Rotary switch LW26-160Q 160A, 2 levels, 2 positions

A LW26-Q rotary switch is an electrical switch that has three separate poles or electrical circuits, each with its own set of contacts. These switches are used to control the on/off function or other functions of three separate electrical circuits or devices simultaneously. In industrial settings, three-pole rotary switches are used to control three-phase motors, allowing operators to start and stop the motors simultaneously. The rotary switches LW26 series are produced for switching on/off electrical circuits with commutated current from 20 to 160A. They are designed on the bases of the rotor-eccentric switching on which is realized through turning of the handle to 60 or 90 degrees. There are special rotary switches that switch on under given connection schemes and are used to control motors, electric welding machines and other consumers.
