Industrial Toggle Switch
The Bryant 4901BRED is a single-pole toggle switch rated for 20 A at 120/277V AC. It is built for industrial control panels and machinery where a maintained contact is required. The red actuator provides clear visual identification in busy electrical enclosures. This switch suits electricians and maintenance crews wiring motor starters or lighting circuits.
Back and Side Wiring Limits
The device accepts both back and side wiring with screw terminals for secure conductor retention. Voltage rating is fixed at 120/277V AC, so it cannot be used on higher voltage systems. The 2 hp motor rating at this voltage defines the maximum inductive load it can handle. Installers must not exceed the 20 A current rating on resistive or motor loads.
Standard Box Installation
Overall height is 1.7 in, allowing fit in standard industrial wall boxes. Brass and nickel-plated steel ground terminal simplifies grounding compliance with UL/CSA standards. Common issues include over-tightening terminal screws which can damage the brass contacts. Ensure the toggle moves freely after mounting to confirm proper alignment.
