Application fit
The Hubbell HBL7842D manual motor switch suits industrial and commercial sites needing a compact 40 A, 600 V AC two-pole disconnect with NEMA-style construction. Installers who require CSA and UL listed hardware for single-phase motor loads up to 5 hp at 230 V will find the 3.7 in by 2.2 in by 2.4 in enclosure-less body easy to integrate into existing panels. It is not suited for applications demanding built-in pilot lights, phase-loss protection or a factory-supplied enclosure.
Deciding specification
The 40 A, 600 V AC rating combined with a two-pole NEMA-style switch body is the single figure that determines whether this unit matches the motor circuit you are wiring. If your load exceeds 40 amps or requires three-pole isolation, this model cannot be used and a different switch must be specified.
