Product design features

Product Line:
Safety Switches

Resolution:
For the general duty, heavy duty, and double throw safety switch lugs, ALL are UL listed to accept 60 or 75 degree C wires on 30 - 100 A switches and 75 degree C wires on 200 - 1200 A switches.

NOTE: 90 degree wire can be used, but it must be sized per the 75 degree ampacity table in the National Electrical Code.
