71B36-05-1-03N

Rotary switches are among the most widely utilized in the automation industry. This type of switch provides a wide range of control for an array of applications. One such product is the 71B36-05-1-03N rotary switch. This switch is a good solution for controlling high-power circuit breakers and relays. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the 71B36-05-1-03N rotary switch in detail.

Application Field

The 71B36-05-1-03N is a high-power switch suitable for a range of applications. These include on/off switching of high current circuit breakers and relays, remote control applications, and switching of motor controllers. It is also suitable for direct current (DC) applications, such as controlling the speed of a motor. Thanks to the high current rating of the switch, it can be used to control the power of large appliances, including heavy industrial equipment.

Working Principle

The 71B36-05-1-03N is a four-pole switch, meaning it can handle up to four separate circuits. Each circuit is controlled by a separate rotor and is activated by rotating the rotor through its operating range. The switch has three positions, which can be changed by rotating the rotor clockwise or counterclockwise. When the rotor is moved, the contacts are closed and the switch is engaged, turning the electrical circuit on or off. Depending on the position of the rotor, the circuit can either be open, closed, or a combination of both.

The switch is designed with reliable contacts and an efficient thermal design to handle high currents. The contact design ensures that the switch is robust enough to operate in tough industrial environments and can handle numerous switching operations.

Conclusion

The 71B36-05-1-03N is one of the most reliable and versatile switches available in the automation industry. It offers a wide variety of applications, including motor speed control, on/off switching of high current circuits, and remote control applications. Thanks to its efficient contact design, this switch can handle high current and can be used in a variety of industrial applications.
