Device description

Rotary Handle

Mechanical rotary handle for manual operation of a compatible breaker, switch or disconnector.

A rotary handle transfers the operator's rotational movement to the mechanism of the electrical switching device.

It may be mounted directly on the device body to provide more convenient, ergonomic or protected manual operation.

Depending on the design, it may support locking in defined positions, status indication and padlocking.

Selection criteria include the compatible device series, operating angle, locking functions, required degree of protection and mounting position.
