Allen Bradley194R-J60-1753Fused Rotary Disconnect Switch, 3-Pole, 60 A, 600 V AC / 250 V DC, Class J Fuses, Touch-Safe, Padlockable

Product Description

What this part is

An Allen-Bradley 194R-J60-1753 fused disconnect switch from the Rockwell Automation 194R range, Series A. It is a three-pole rotary-operated disconnect switch with integral fuse carriers sized for UL Class J or CSA HRCI-J fuse links, rated 60 A at up to 600 V AC and 250 V DC.

Decoding the designation

In the 194R scheme the letter after 194R states the fuse class the switch accepts, so J marks this as a Class J fused unit. The number that follows is the ampere rating, giving 60 A here. The trailing digits identify the pole count and mechanical configuration. That structure matters when matching a replacement, because a switch built for Class J fuses will not accept Class R or Class CC links.

What these specs mean in practice

Class J is a current-limiting fuse class in a compact body with a distinctive mounting dimension, chosen where high available fault current has to be limited and panel space is tight. A Class J fuse limits let-through energy, so downstream components see a reduced fault, which is what allows a smaller starter or contactor to be series-rated behind it. The switch body is dimensioned for those specific fuse links, which is why fuse class is part of the identity of the switch rather than an accessory choice.

Touch-safe construction shields the live parts so a panel can be worked with the door open at reduced risk, and fuse status indication shows an opened fuse from the front without removing the links. The padlocking provision meets OSHA lockout requirements, allowing the switch to be secured in the off position while work proceeds downstream, which is the reason a disconnect exists in a motor circuit rather than a plain breaker.

The dual rating of 600 V AC and 250 V DC lets the same switch serve AC motor feeders and DC circuits, with the DC rating lower because a DC arc has no current zero to help extinguish it.

Quantity and configuration

Sold as 1 Pc — one disconnect switch body. Fuse links are not included. The operating handle and shaft extension are separate accessories and are not included, and no enclosure is included.

Installation and setup notes

The switch mounts inside a panel or enclosure with the operating shaft brought out to a door-mounted or side-mounted handle, and both front and side operation are supported by the range. Fuse links are fitted to the three carriers before commissioning, and only Class J or CSA HRCI-J links fit the carriers. The padlocking provision engages with the mechanism in the off position.

Interchange guidance

The 194R-J60-1753S is the same 60 A Class J switch in the S variant, and the 194R-J60-1753-PYS1 and 194R-J60-1753-PYS2 are kitted versions of the same switch supplied with handle assemblies. Those are related articles in one family: the switch body function matches, and what differs is the accessory content and variant suffix. Switches from the 194R range built for a different fuse class carry a different letter and accept different fuse links, so they are different parts. A direct replacement matches catalogue number 194R-J60-1753.
