Why Choose the Wöhner 36159 OMUS® CrossBoard® Hybrid Switch?
The Wöhner 36159 is a 3-pole or individually switchable 1-pole hybrid switch designed specifically for UL applications, providing reliable switching of resistive loads up to 20 A. Part of the innovative Wöhner OMUS® CrossBoard® range, it combines solid-state switching with electromechanical contacts to deliver fast switching, low wear and exceptional service life in demanding industrial environments.
Featuring the integrated CrossLink® interface, the 36159 mounts directly onto compatible CrossBoard® 125 A, 250 A and 800 A systems, eliminating unnecessary wiring and reducing installation time. Hybrid switching technology minimises contact erosion while maintaining low heat dissipation during continuous operation, making it ideal for industrial control panels and OEM equipment.
Rated at 20 A for UL applications and suitable for 400 V AC operation, the Wöhner 36159 provides dependable switching for heating elements, lighting circuits and other resistive industrial loads requiring reliable performance and compact installation.
