Legrand 1225-I Manual Controller Switch 20A 120/277V Spdt

Product Description

The LEGRAND 1225-I is a 3-position, 2-circuit, center-off manual controller switch rated for 20 amps at 120/277 volts AC. Built with a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) contact configuration and maintained-contact operation, it provides reliable manual control of motors and equipment from a single toggle location. The toggle handle and oversize silver alloy contacts support long service life and better heat dissipation under load. The body, cover, and toggle are molded from durable nylon and finished in ivory. Electricians and maintenance technicians install this switch in machine control and light commercial equipment circuits where a center-off, maintained-contact toggle is required.

This switch is rated for 1 HP at 120 volts AC and 2 HP at 240 volts AC, making it well suited for small motors found in machine tools, pumps, fans, and air conditioning equipment. It is side wired with terminals that accept 14 to 10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors, and fiber terminal insulation barriers are included as standard. The 1225-I mounts in standard device boxes or NEMA 1 sheet steel enclosures, giving installers flexibility in panel or wall-mounted applications in residential, light commercial, and light industrial settings.
