Altech Corp: Recyclable 200A and 400A High-Amperage Disconnect Switches For Demanding Applications

Altech high amperage disconnect switch

Altech Corporation has launched its 200A and 400A UL 98 Disconnect Switches, setting new standards for sustainability, safety and performance in high-amperage switching applications.

An industry first, these high-amperage disconnect switches are made from 100% recyclable plastic materials, reflecting Altech’s commitment to environmental responsibility without compromising performance. Built for the most demanding industrial applications, these switches offer a compelling high-performance solution for industries seeking more environmentally responsible solutions.

The 200A and 400A UL 98 Disconnect Switches incorporate several innovative features:
  • Operator-independent actuation: The switch’s make/break operation functions independently from operator’s actuation speed, ensuring consistent performance regardless of user technique
  • Modular configuration: The flexible design supports custom configurations of actuation orientation to suit various installation requirements
  • Enhanced safety features: Each pole includes a contact position check/condition inspection window, improving safety and maintenance procedures
  • Impressive power capacity: The maximum horsepower rating of 300 HP at 600V AC makes these switches suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Switches are UL listed (E506049) and come with various accessories, including different shaft lengths (100 to 500 millimeters) and handle options.

Additional technical specifications include:
  • Three-pole and four-pole configurations
  • Voltage rating: 600V AC maximum
  • Current ratings: 200A and 400A options
  • Short circuit withstand rating: 100 kA with appropriate Class J fuses
  • Accommodates wire sizes from 2 AWG to 600 kcmil depending on model
