Why Choose the Wöhner 36157 OMUS® 30Compact Hybrid Switch?
The Wöhner 36157 is a genuine OMUS® 30Compact hybrid switch designed for switching resistive loads up to 20 A in UL applications. Configurable as either a 3-pole switch or three independent 1-pole switches, it provides maximum flexibility for industrial control panels and OEM automation systems whilst complying with UL requirements.
Designed for the 30Compact 3P busbar system, the hybrid switch incorporates CrossLink® Technology, combining semiconductor switching with mechanical relay contacts to provide low-wear operation and a service life exceeding 30 million switching cycles. Integrated power supply, fuse protection and switching functions simplify panel construction and reduce installation time.
The Wöhner 36157 is intended for UL feeder circuits above 250 V and has been designated by Wöhner as a phase-out product. Customers should confirm current availability with an authorised Wöhner distributor before ordering.
