Value Collection RS-1 Enclosed Drum Switch 230V 550V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION RS-1 is an enclosed drum switch designed for reversing and speed-control applications in industrial and commercial electrical systems. It operates on 230 VAC/VDC with a maximum input voltage rating of 550 VAC, making it suitable for a range of motor control tasks. The maintained (MA) operation type means the switch holds its selected position until physically moved, which is standard for forward-off-reverse motor switching. At 4 inches wide, 2.5 inches deep, and 4.5 inches high, this is a compact enclosed unit. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers. It carries both CSA Certification and UL Listing.

This drum switch is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings wherever a motor requires manual directional control. Typical applications include single-phase and three-phase motor reversing on conveyor systems, machine tools, hoists, and pumps. The enclosed housing protects the internal contacts from dust, debris, and incidental contact, making it appropriate for shop floors and equipment rooms where open-style switches are not suitable. The maintained action provides a stable, locked position for each operating mode without requiring continuous operator force.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Disconnect and lock out all power to the circuit before mounting or wiring the switch. Verify that the supply voltage and motor load ratings are within the switch specifications before energizing. The enclosure should be mounted securely to a panel or surface appropriate for the installation environment.
