The W3TS knife blade test switch facilitates commissioning and testing of transformers, relays, meters, and control systems. W3TS is a customizable miniature test switch which may be configured with a variety of switching elements in block sizes of 1 to 50 poles.

In addition to standard test switch options (knife disconnect, short circuiting, and test jacks), other elements are available which allow W3TS to be configured for many applications which require rugged and durable terminal blocks.

Knife blade switches may be operated independently, or, for simultaneous operation, adjacent handles can be ganged together with an insulated yoking bar. Adjacent blocks may also be connected via common bar.

Key Features

No risk of electric shock

Our patented safety knob allows operators to keep their gloves on and use a nut driver to open a switch, while the integrated barriers provide reliable isolation between circuits.

 

As big (or small) as you need it

Arrange W3TS precisely to the application. Select any combination of 1 to 50 blocks in a variety of colors.

 

Mounting Options

W3TS test switches are available in three form factors: panel mounted with front connection, DIN rail mounted with front connection, or through-panel with back connection.

 

Made to Order in the USA

US based supply chain and manufacturing ensure W3TS products are ready to ship within two weeks.
