C5636 – FEDERAL 3P60A 600V NON FUSED DISCONNECT

Yes. As a 3-pole, 60A, 600V non-fused disconnect, the FPEC5636 is well suited for use as a motor disconnect switch in industrial and commercial settings. However, since it is non-fused, you must ensure that appropriate upstream overcurrent protection (such as fuses or a breaker) is in place to comply with the Canadian Electrical Code. Contact us if you'd like help confirming suitability for your specific motor load.

A non-fused disconnect like the FPEC5636 provides a means of safely isolating a circuit but does not include built-in fuse protection. This means overcurrent protection must be provided separately — typically by a fused panel, fused breaker, or fuses installed upstream. A fused disconnect combines both functions in one enclosure. If your application requires combined isolation and fuse protection in a single device, our team can help you find the right alternative.
