Shallco 48V Switch

Thinking about using these on my 48Volt banks.
Would appreciate thoughts and opinions.

Interesting and price seems good. Will carry 300 amps continuous, but I wonder if it has any current interrupting capability, incase you need to switch it off with a load.

I plan to have a 200a class t fuse prior to the switch. So the interrupting performance would not matter i think. (200a or less)

The switch is rated at 48V. Your 48V bank is actually 51.2V. You need to contact the switch maker and see if it can actually handle over 51V continuously.

This is just a heavy duty switch. Nothing else. And yes it will handle a few more volt than 48v. That is never an issue.
