<p>The MPS3 series switch is a robust and reliable component designed for industrial and commercial applications. With its rated voltage of 230 VAC, this switch is suitable for various electrical systems that require consistent performance. The clear plastic construction not only ensures durability but also offers visibility to the illuminated feature, enhancing operational convenience.</p><p>Designed to withstand diverse environmental conditions, the MPS3 series operates efficiently within a temperature range of -25 to 70 degrees Celsius. This makes it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor settings where temperature fluctuations are common.</p><p>Safety and compliance are paramount in industrial settings, and this product meets several international standards including CSA C22.2 No. 14, DIN 40050-9, EN 50013, IEC/EN 60073, IEC/EN 60529, IEC/EN 60947-1, IEC/EN 60947-5-1, IEC/EN 60947-5-5 as well as UL 508 approvals. These certifications ensure that the switch adheres to rigorous safety and performance criteria required in demanding environments.</p><p>The MPS3 switch features a contact configuration of one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC), providing versatile functionality for controlling circuits. The actuator type is a long handle with maintained action across positions A, B, and C—ideal for applications where manual control needs to be sustained over time without holding pressure on the actuator.</p><p>With a rated insulation voltage of up to 690 V and an impulse withstand voltage of up to 6 kV, this switch provides high-level protection against electrical surges which might otherwise compromise system integrity or safety. Additionally, it supports a rated thermal current of up to 10 A ensuring it can handle substantial load currents typically encountered in industrial operations.</p><p>The cutout size measures at a standard diameter of 22 mm making installation straightforward while fitting seamlessly into existing panels or control boards without requiring custom modifications.</p><p>In summary, the MPS3 series switch combines reliability with versatility through its comprehensive design tailored for demanding technical requirements found in industry sectors across Australia. Its adherence to global standards coupled with practical features such as illumination and maintained positions make it an invaluable asset in any electrical setup seeking efficiency along with safety assurance.</p>
