Overview
The GS1AH240 is a Schneider TeSys GS external rotary handle, order code GS1AH240, rated for 100 A switching current with a red handle, two positions O-I, and IP65 ingress protection. It mounts on the right side of the enclosure and complies with IEC standards, serving as the manual operating interface for TeSys GS switch-disconnectors in the 100–400 A range.
The handle provides a two-position O-I (Off-On) control, with padlocking capability in the O position for lockout/tagout compliance. The 100 A rating indicates the maximum continuous current the handle can carry when paired with the appropriate switch-disconnector base. Its IP65 rating allows installation in enclosures exposed to dust and water jets, typical for outdoor or washdown environments. The red handle color provides clear visual indication of the On state.
Applications
This handle is used with TeSys GS switch-disconnectors in motor control centers, distribution panels, and machinery isolation points where a manual disconnect with visible break is required. The IP65 rating suits food processing, packaging, and material handling lines where washdown is routine.
