Why Choose the Mersen M315E03 IEC Load Break Switch?
The Mersen M315E03 is a heavy-duty 315 A three-pole IEC non-fused load break switch designed for reliable switching and electrical isolation in industrial low-voltage power distribution systems. It provides dependable load-making and load-breaking performance for substantial three-phase circuits used within switchboards, machinery and electrical distribution assemblies.
Featuring a 0+3 pole configuration, the M315E03 switches all three phase conductors simultaneously while providing no additional switched neutral pole. Its robust base-mounted construction makes it suitable for panel builders and OEM manufacturers requiring a compact yet durable isolation solution for demanding industrial environments.
With a rated operational current of 315 A, the Mersen M315E03 is suitable for incoming supplies, outgoing feeders, motor control centres and production equipment. As a non-fused switch, it allows suitable fuses or circuit breakers to be selected separately according to the fault level, cable size and protection requirements of the installation.
Key Advantages
Heavy-duty 315 A IEC load break switch for industrial applications.
Three-pole 0+3 configuration for three-phase electrical circuits.
Provides reliable load switching and safe circuit isolation.
Robust construction for demanding switchboard environments.
Suitable for incoming supplies, feeders and industrial machinery.
Key Features
Mersen IEC non-fused load break switch.
315 A rated operational current.
Three switched power poles.
0+3 pole arrangement.
Load-making, load-breaking and isolation capability.
Base-mounted industrial construction.
Compatible with suitable operating shafts and enclosure handles.
Designed for low-voltage power distribution systems.
Reliable Switching for Industrial Power Distribution
Load break switches provide a controlled means of connecting, disconnecting and isolating electrical circuits under normal operating conditions. The Mersen M315E03 switches all three phases together, creating a clearly defined isolation point before inspection, servicing or maintenance work begins.
Because the M315E03 does not contain fuse links, appropriate upstream or downstream overcurrent and short-circuit protection must be provided separately. This allows engineers to select protective devices that match the prospective fault current, conductor size and load characteristics of the installation.
Typical Applications
Industrial low-voltage switchboards.
Power distribution panels.
Motor control centres.
Incoming and outgoing feeder circuits.
Industrial machinery and production equipment.
OEM electrical distribution assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mersen M315E03 used for?
The M315E03 is used to switch and isolate three-phase electrical circuits in industrial switchboards, machinery and low-voltage power distribution systems.
What is the current rating of the M315E03?
The Mersen M315E03 has a rated operational current of 315 A.
What does the 0+3 pole configuration mean?
The 0+3 configuration means the switch has three switched phase poles and no additional switched neutral pole.
Is the M315E03 a fused switch?
No. The M315E03 is a non-fused load break switch, so suitable fuse or circuit-breaker protection must be provided separately.
Where is the M315E03 typically installed?
The switch is normally base mounted inside an industrial switchboard or electrical enclosure and operated using compatible Mersen handle and shaft accessories.
