Identification System
Mini-Vario and Vario rotary manual motor-control switches from 12–175 A are suitable for
on-load making and breaking of resistive or mixed resistive inductive circuits where
frequent operation is required. They can also be used for direct switching of motors in
utilization categories AC-3 and DC-3 specific to motors. Vario manual motor-control
switches are suitable for isolator applications with fully visible indication (since the handle
cannot be in the open position unless all the contacts are actually open and separated by
the appropriate isolating distance), and the handles are padlockable.
