High-Quality HD13BX Single Throw Rotary Knife Switch Manufacturer, Companies

The HD13BX Single Throw Rotary Knife Switch provides reliable circuit isolation for industrial power systems, supporting 100A-2000A loads at AC380V with 1000V insulation. This single-throw rotary switch features a smooth rotating mechanism for precise operation, alongside high making/breaking capacity (up to 1500A) and short-time withstand currents up to 30kA. With 10,000 mechanical cycles and low operating force (≤400N), the HD13BX switch ensures durable performance in 50Hz applications. Its compact design and central handle operation make it ideal for distribution panels requiring safe, manual isolation and maintenance-free reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "HD" category code represent?
The "HD" code stands for Open-type Knife Switch, which is the primary category for this series of electrical components.
What is the difference between Design Code 11 and 13?
Code "11" refers to the Central Handle Type, while code "13" refers to the Central Lever Operation Mechanism Type.
What voltage levels are supported by these knife switches?
These switches are rated for an operational voltage of AC380V and an insulation voltage of 1000V.
How many poles are available for the HD13 series?
The series offers versatile configurations including 1, 2, 3, or 4 poles to suit different installation requirements.
What does the "BX" suffix indicate?
The "BX" suffix indicates that the switch is a rotary operation type. If the suffix is absent, it indicates a standard lever operation type.
Can these switches handle high thermal currents?
Yes, the series covers a wide range of conventional free-air thermal currents starting from 100A all the way up to 3000A.
