PT223 - 100A, 240V, 2-Pole, 1-Phase, Pullout Switch

Meet the PT223, a rugged 100A, 240V, 2-Pole, 1-Phase pullout switch engineered for reliable on/off isolation and robust overcurrent protection in demanding industrial and commercial environments. Designed to stand up to tough operating conditions, it delivers consistent performance where safety and uptime matter most.

The pullout mechanism is at the heart of its maintenance-friendly design. It allows safe isolation during routine service or inspections, reducing exposure and streamlining workflows in electrical rooms and control panels. This makes it an ideal choice for facilities that require quick, secure access to the switching element without a full system shutdown.

Key specifications

• Model: PT223
• Amperage: 100A
• Voltage: 240V
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Phase: 1-Phase

What makes it unique

• Dedicated for motor disconnects: A reliable point of isolation directly where motors and drive systems need protection and control.
• Compact, maintainable fusible switch option: Fits into tight electrical spaces while supporting fuse-based protection when required by your protection scheme.
• Panelboard and branch circuit protection: Serves as a dependable disconnect and protection point in distribution panels, reducing wiring complexity and improving safety.
• Single-phase convenience: Specifically optimized for single-phase circuits common in commercial equipment and light industrial applications.
• Rugged construction for harsh environments: Built to withstand busy, demanding workplaces, helping minimize downtime and maintenance costs.

Ideal use scenarios

Place the PT223 in motor control centers, panelboards, and branch circuits where a two-pole, single-phase disconnect is needed. It’s well-suited for HVAC equipment, pumps, conveyors, and other equipment that requires reliable isolation and overcurrent protection in a compact footprint.

Practical tips for optimal use

• Coordinate with your protective devices to ensure proper fuse selection and protection margins within your distribution scheme.
• Schedule regular pullout inspections to verify smooth withdrawal, proper lockout/tagout readiness, and mechanical integrity.
• Keep a small maintenance kit on hand near switchgear to minimize downtime during fuse replacements or service intervals.
