This unit

The Kraus & Naimer KG251 is a disconnect switch engineered for reliable isolation of electrical circuits in industrial settings. Rated for 250 A at 690 V nominal, it accommodates both 3-pole and 4-pole configurations and handles motor loads across utilization categories AC-3 and AC-23A. The switch provides forced opening and closing of main contacts, substantial creepage and clearance distances between terminals, and terminal shrouding on models rated 80 A to 250 A for simplified field wiring.
