Allen-Bradley DS262R - 60A, Disconnect Switch

The Allen-Bradley DS262R is a purpose-built 60A disconnect switch designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments where safe electrical isolation is essential. Built to perform under load, this switch delivers dependable disconnection when service is required, helping keep maintenance teams safe and operations reliable over the long haul.

Engineered for safety, reliability, and ease of use

• 60A continuous rating provides a robust, ride-through solution for motors, pumps, conveyors, and other energized loads typical in manufacturing floors and distribution centers.
• Lockout/Tagout compatibility supports standard LOTO procedures, offering a clear path to secure circuits during maintenance with padlock and tagging options for enhanced safety compliance.
• Reliable disconnection under load ensures the circuit can be isolated cleanly without partial energization, reducing the risk of arc flash and unexpected restarts during service.
• Durable industrial construction designed to withstand the everyday rigors of vibration, dust, and temperature fluctuations common in busy facilities.
• Intuitive operation straightforward manual action provides predictable control, minimizing downtime during scheduled changes, repairs, or emergency shutdowns.

Who benefits from the DS262R

• Maintenance teams performing routine servicing on motors, drives, and line equipment who need a reliable isolation point.
• Facility managers seeking to improve safety compliance and reduce downtime associated with unexpected equipment energization.
• Electrical installers and system integrators looking for a compatible disconnect switch within the Allen-Bradley ecosystem.
• Industrial plants and commercial facilities that require a durable, easy-to-audit solution for isolation during shift changes or start-up/shut-down procedures.

Practical use scenarios

• Isolating a motor-driven conveyor during preventive maintenance to ensure workers can perform tasks without power.
• Performing troubleshooting on a pump or air handling unit while maintaining a clear, verifiable off position.
• Shut-down procedures for line changeovers or safety drills where immediate de-energization is required.
• Integration into switchgear assemblies where a dedicated isolation point improves overall safety workflows.

Why this DS262R stands apart

• Specifically chosen for environments where both safety and reliability matter, the DS262R emphasizes complete isolation and long-term durability, rather than simply meeting minimum requirements.
• As part of the Allen-Bradley family, it complements other protection and control devices in the same ecosystem, helping you build cohesive, easy-to-maintain safety and control architectures.
• By focusing on clear, actionable isolation with straightforward LOTO support, it reduces the complexity of safety procedures and accelerates compliance audits.

Installation and best-practice tips

To maximize safety and performance, pair the DS262R with compliant locking hardware and tagging practices as part of your lockout/tagout program. Confirm that the switch is appropriate for your system voltage and conductor sizing, install in a location accessible to authorized personnel, and label clearly for routine audits. Have a qualified electrician or technician perform wiring and commissioning to ensure a proper, code-compliant integration with your existing electrical distribution and control systems.
