Frequently Asked Questions
PCE Merz switchgear is widely used across industrial control panels, switchboards, machinery isolation, mining equipment, HVAC systems, utilities, food processing, elevators, and photovoltaic installations. The range supports both AC and DC applications, including high-load and safety-critical environments.
Compact switches are primarily used as on–off disconnect or emergency-off switches for switchboards and panels, offering simple isolation in a compact footprint.
Cam switches provide multi-position control and selection functions, such as changeover, metering selection, star-delta switching, and reversing, making them suitable for control and instrumentation circuits.
Repair and maintenance switches are specified where machinery requires local isolation during servicing or where there is a risk of unintended restart. These switches feature lockable handles and meet EN 60204 safety requirements, making them suitable for maintenance-critical and compliance-driven applications.
UVR switches automatically disconnect power when the supply voltage drops below a defined threshold. They are commonly used on machinery with rotating tools to prevent automatic restart after a power failure, improving operator safety and compliance with machine safety regulations.
PCE Merz DC switches are specifically designed for photovoltaic and renewable energy applications, with voltage ratings up to 1500 VDC and current ratings up to 160A. They provide safe DC isolation for PV strings, inverters, and DC distribution systems.
PCE Merz offers application-specific and customised switch solutions, including generator voltage changeover switches, bypass switches, and industry-specific configurations. Leveltec works directly with PCE Merz to support custom designs, dimensional drawings, and integration into switchboards and enclosures.
Leveltec stocks a wide range of PCE Merz switchgear locally and provides technical support across Australia. Our team can assist with product selection, specification, compliance requirements, and integration into new or existing systems.
Selection depends on application type, voltage, current rating, mounting requirements, safety compliance, and control function. The Leveltec sales and engineering team can assist with specification, cross-referencing, and customised solutions where required.
