AutomationDirect offers 600 VAC/250 VDC heavy-duty fusible and non-fusible disconnects from Ferraz Shawmut. Meeting UL98 standards, the SIRCO and FUSERBLOC series are designed with the latest disconnect technology available, “make and break” power circuits under load, and are UL, CSA, CE and IEC rated.

The SIRCO switches and accessories, starting at $57, are available in 30-800 amp ratings. Available defeatable pistol handles automatically re-latch when the panel door is closed, eliminating the need for tools to reset the latch.
