FAQs
What kinds of industrial electrical switches are available through your Washburn location?
We stock a full range of low- and medium-voltage industrial switches, including rotary disconnects, heavy-duty toggle switches, selector switches, illuminated push-buttons, limit switches, proximity sensors, and fuse-protected safety switches. Most models are offered in both standard and hazardous-location versions, with current ratings from 5 A up to 600 A and voltage ratings to 600 VAC/1000 VDC.
Are your switches suitable for harsh or hazardous environments?
Yes. Many of our switch lines are built with NEMA 4X / IP66 enclosures for wash-down areas, UV-resistant housings for outdoor service, and epoxy-coated or stainless-steel hardware for corrosive atmospheres. For Class I, II, and III Division 1 & 2 hazardous locations we offer UL listed and ATEX-certified explosion-proof designs that prevent arc ignition of flammable gases, dust, or fibers.
Which certifications and standards do your industrial switches meet?
Depending on the model, our switches carry UL 98, UL 508, CSA-C22.2, CE, IEC 60947-3, and NFPA 79 approvals. Marine and railway variants comply with ABS and EN 50155, respectively. All safety switches conform to OSHA lockout/tagout requirements, and RoHS/REACH documentation is available for export projects.
Can you help me choose the right switch for my application?
Absolutely. Our Washburn technical sales team will review your load data, duty cycle, enclosure rating, and control-voltage requirements. We then propose one or more switch part numbers, provide thermal and short-circuit ratings, and confirm mechanical life, contact material, and connection style. CAD drawings, wiring diagrams, and sample units can be supplied on request.
What is the typical lead time for industrial switches ordered in Washburn?
Common amperage sizes (≤100 A) and standard enclosures are stocked locally and can ship the same or next business day within the Washburn area. Factory-configured specials or hazardous-location models usually ship in 7–10 working days. High-volume blanket orders qualify for scheduled releases, ensuring just-in-time delivery without additional freight charges.
Do you offer installation or maintenance services for the switches you sell?
Yes. Our field service department provides turnkey installation, commissioning, and preventive maintenance for all switch types we supply. Services include insulation resistance testing, torque verification, thermal imaging, and annual safety audits. For customers with in-house electricians, we can also supply detailed installation guides and conduct on-site training sessions to meet OSHA and NFPA 70E requirements.
