The AC-22A utilisation category means it is designed for switching mixed resistive and inductive loads in control circuits — not for motor starting (that is AC-3 territory). It makes and breaks load current, not fault current; the rated short-circuit making capacity is 0.6 kA as a stand-alone switch-disconnector, so upstream protection (a circuit breaker or fuse) must coordinate to keep it within its 480 A short-time withstand for 300 ms. Fixed mounting on a DIN rail, IP20 finger-safe enclosure. Strip length 9 mm, tightening torque 3.5 N·m. The toggle control gives positive visual indication of contact position. Downstream busbar compatibility is biconnect type. Ambient operating range -5 to 55 °C, storage -25 to 85 °C, with 95% relative humidity at 55 °C (tropicalisation class 2). Pollution degree 2 environment — suitable for standard control panels, not for conductive dust or condensation-prone locations.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric A9KS15140BQ Acti9 SW Switch Disconnector,","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric A9KS15140BQ Acti9 SW switch disconnector, 1P, 40A rated operational current at 240V AC, AC-22A utilisation category.
