MDS6-AST - 60A, Safety Switch

Meet the MDS6-AST 60A Safety Switch—a high-performance disconnect designed for industrial and commercial environments that demand reliable electrical isolation. Built to support proper lockout/tagout procedures and deliver a dependable disconnection under load, it stands up to daily use with long-term durability that facilities can count on.

Key features and benefits

• 60A amperage rating makes it ideal for controlling mid-to-large equipment, motors, and machinery branching from main panels.
• Safe isolation for maintenance enables workers to perform servicing and testing without risk of unexpected energization.
• Lockout/Tagout compatibility supports compliant energy-control procedures, helping facilities meet safety standards during servicing.
• Reliable disconnection under load ensures circuits can be safely opened even when equipment is energized, reducing downtime and safety hazards.
• Durable, purpose-built design tailored for the rigors of industrial and commercial settings, delivering sustained performance in demanding environments.

Ideal applications

• Industrial motor controls and production line equipment
• Pump and compressor systems, conveyors, and material handling gear
• HVAC systems and large distribution panels in commercial facilities
• Maintenance rooms and service areas requiring clear energy isolation points

How it enhances safety and compliance

The MDS6-AST provides a clear, physical disconnect point in the electrical system, making it straightforward to implement lockout/tagout during maintenance or repair work. By guaranteeing a reliable isolation path and supporting established safety protocols, it helps reduce the risk of accidental re-energization and supports consistent adherence to safety regulations in both industrial and commercial environments.
