Allen-Bradley 194E-A40-1753 Disconnect Switch

Allen-Bradley 194E-A40-1753 is a three-pole load disconnect switch designed for base mounting in panel enclosures, delivering OFF/ON isolation for up to 40 A. The unit uses a two-position operator and includes an operating shaft for manual actuation. It is rated for AC23A service up to 690 V AC, providing about 18.5 kW of load power at 690 V (50 Hz) and roughly 20 HP at 480 V (60 Hz). The switch bodies carry an IP20 protection rating, making it suitable for inside-panel installation, and the A-series designation denotes base mounting (with front/door mounting variants available as the E-series). This model is commonly used as a dedicated isolation point in motor-control centers, power distribution panels, and feeder circuits where a clear, mechanical disconnect is required for safety and serviceability.
