New KF-switch series: 16-25A thermal current range

This new generation of switch disconnectors is the latest development from Kraus & Naimer and is described as the most flexible disconnect range in their class.
KF
KF-Switch
Main features :

• Rotating contact movement (instead of classical vertical lifting),
   in a new type of modular contact block

• Highly modular system allows flexibility, which for this size of switch
   has not been available on the market so far

• High mechanical life expectancy

KC - New switch series with tension clamps

The new main switches of the KC-series are equipped with tension clamps and distinguish themselves, like all Kraus & Naimer main switches, by a compact design and at the same time with high AC-23A switching capacity as well as very large clearance and creeping distances. The outstanding contact force of the tension clamps recommend the switches for unusual conditions at shock and vibration. This innovative connection system impresses by its simple, safe handling and short wiring time. Comfortable wiring of the fingerproof (IP20) terminals is ensured by a 60º displacement of the clamps to the plane of wiring. The switches of the KC-series are available for 7.5 - 16 kW according to AC23A, 400V, and 16-32A thermal current. The terminals are stainless and acid resistant.

Declarations of Conformity
Effective immediately declarations of conformity for most of our switches are available on our homepage and can be downloaded. These declarations are conceived as general letters of confirmation and certify the compliance with various international standards.
However, they must not be mixed up with the official "declarations of conformity" defined in the Low Voltage/CE directive issued by the EU.
These documents are rather critical and have to be requested from KNW as in the past.

New Switch Series CL

Switches of the new CL-series are supplied with IDC terminals (Insulation Displacement Connection) instead of conventional screw type terminals and provide enormous advantages during wiring. The unprepared conductor is only inserted into the terminal and by closing a slide with a screwdriver wiring is completed. Stripping and crimping as well as tightening of terminal screws is no longer required. CL-switches reduce installation time substantially, which translates to significant cost savings. The terminals are stainless and acid resistant.

Additional screw terminal for CL-Switch series

At times, it may be necessary that 2 wires have to be connected to the same CL-switch terminal. An additional screw terminal has been made available which could be fitted onto the DC terminal in the same way as the wire is connected to the switch. This terminal may be used on switches, which are already in use
