General Duty—Up to 100 kA Short Circuit Current Rating
Class 3130
General Duty—Up To 100 kA Short Circuit Current Rating
General duty safety switches are designed for residential and commercial applications where durability and economy are prime considerations. Typical loads are lighting, air conditioning, and appliances. They are suitable for use as service equipment when equipped with a factory or field-installed neutral assembly or a field-installed service grounding kit, (see Equipment Grounding Kits) as applicable.
General duty safety switches are UL Listed, File E2875, and meet or exceed the NEMA Standard KS1. NEC 2023 protects against these units from being applied in any application; for compliance with NE2023 obtain Heavy Duty Safety Switch.
