Is this a 4-pole device?

Yes. This unit has a 4-pole configuration, making it suitable for applications where all poles need to be switched together.

What is the rated current of this unit?

The device has a conventional free-air thermal current of 80 A. Depending on the utilisation category and voltage, its rated operational current varies across AC and DC applications.

Can it be used on both AC and DC systems?

Yes. Schneider 28905 is designed for both AC and DC networks. It is rated for AC operation up to 500 V and DC operation up to 250 V, with certain DC ratings using poles in series.

Is it suitable for isolation duties?

Yes. The unit is suitable for isolation, which makes it a practical choice for panels and assemblies where a clear manual disconnecting function is required.

How is the device operated?

It uses a rotary handle for manual operation. The standard version is fitted with a black handle and includes contact position indication.

What mounting options are available?

This switch-disconnector is intended for fixed mounting and can be installed on a plate or DIN rail, offering flexibility for a range of enclosure and panel layouts.

What cable size can it accept?

The unit accepts conductors from 1.5 mm² to 50 mm², which helps it cover a broad range of industrial wiring requirements.

What are the dimensions and weight?

The approximate overall dimensions are 85 mm high, 90 mm wide and 62.5 mm deep. The net weight is around 0.6 kg.

What level of environmental protection does it offer?
