Wholesale HR3 Fuse Type Knife Switch for Motor Protection Manufacturers, Factories

The HR3 Fuse Type Knife Switch combines robust circuit isolation with fused protection, supporting 100-1000A loads at AC400V with 500V insulation. This fuse-type knife switch integrates RT0 series fuse bases for 50kA short-circuit protection, ensuring reliable fault interruption in industrial power systems. Designed for harsh environments, it operates at altitudes up to 5000m and temperatures from -35°C to +40°C, with Pollution Degree 3 compliance. The HR3 switch features corrosion-resistant construction and handles 90% humidity (at 20°C), making it ideal for distribution panels requiring manual control and safety in demanding conditions.

Normal Operating Conditions

1. The ambient air temperature shall not be higher than +40℃ and not lower than -35℃.
2. The altitude of the installation site shall not exceed 5000m.
3. Humidity: When the maximum temperature is +40℃, the relative humidity of the air shall not exceed 50%. At lower temperatures, a higher relative humidity is allowed, such as 90% at 20℃. However, appropriate measures shall be taken due to the influence of temperature changes.
4. The pollution level of the ambient environment is Grade 3.
5. The switch shall be installed in a place without severe vibration, and without corrosive gases. Meanwhile, the installation site shall be free of explosive media, and the air in the medium shall be free of gases and dust that can corrode metals and damage insulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the designation "HR3" signify?
In the model designation, "H" stands for Fuse-disconnector, "R" is the design code, and "3" represents the specific generation or series iteration of this product line.
What are the available operating mechanisms for HR3 series switches?
The HR3 series supports multiple operation mechanisms including front side lever transmission (front maintenance), front central lever transmission (rear maintenance), side operating handle (front maintenance), and front side lever without panel. It also offers rotary (indicated with "BX") or lever operation for central mechanisms.
What is the rated limiting short-circuit current capability for the HR3 series?
All models across the HR3 series—from HR3-100 to HR3-1000—feature a rated limiting short-circuit current of 50 kA under 400V operation.
What are the environmental requirements for HR3 switch installations?
The switch must operate in temperatures between -35℃ and +40℃ at an altitude up to 5000m. The area should conform to pollution degree 3 and remain free from corrosive gases, explosive media, severe vibration, and damaging conductive dust.
Which fuse bases are compatible with HR3 series disconnectors?
Compatible fuse base models match the current rating: RT0-100 for HR3-100, RT0-200 for HR3-200, RTO-40 for HR3-400, RT0-600 for HR3-600, and RT0-1000 for HR3-1000.
What rated current levels are supported by HR3 series switches?
The series is designed for multiple standard current capacities including 100A, 200A, 400A, 600A, and up to 1000A for large-scale circuit switching and protection.
