FAQ

What is the difference between the ‘SIRCO M 16’ marking and the ‘Ith 63A’ marking on the device?

The ‘SIRCO M 16’ indicates the specific model with a rated operational current of 16 Amperes under AC-22A/AC-23A conditions. The ‘Ith 63A’ refers to the conventional free air thermal current of the switch’s main body or frame, meaning the housing can handle up to 63A thermally without damage. However, the operational rating for this specific part number is 16A.

Is this switch suitable for motor load switching?

Yes, the SIRCO M series is typically rated for utilization category AC-23A, which makes it suitable for switching motor loads or other highly inductive loads. Always verify the specific motor’s power and inrush current against the switch’s datasheet for your application voltage.

Can I add auxiliary contacts to this SIRCO M switch?

Yes, the SIRCO M series is modular. You can typically add auxiliary contact blocks (1 NO, 1 NC, or combinations) to the side of the switch body for status signaling and interlocking purposes. These are usually sold separately.
