Leviton’s motor controllers and safety switches are designed to provide safe, reliable, and efficient operation across commercial and industrial facilities. As key components in a motor control system, Leviton’s heavy‑duty industrial motor control solutions offer manual ON/OFF control for higher motor loads than standard toggle switches. Leviton also provides safety switches that help ensure an electric circuit is fully de‑energized from its power source. Engineered for durability, these products are built to withstand harsh environments and deliver long‑lasting performance.

Motor Controls & Safety Switches Frequently Asked Questions
A safety disconnect switch is a device used to manually disconnect electrical equipment from its power source. It can provide a local means of isolation for maintenance, servicing, inspection, or emergency situations when properly selected, installed, and used as part of the applicable safety procedure.

A manual motor controller is a hand-operated switching device used to start and stop a motor. Certain properly rated models may also be used as a motor disconnect when marked “Suitable as Motor Disconnect.” A manual motor controller does not, by itself, provide motor overload protection.

Fused disconnect switches provide both power shutoff and circuit protection in one device. Non-fused disconnect switches only shut off power and rely on a separate device for circuit protection. The right option depends on the specific requirements of the electrical system and application.
Stainless steel disconnect switch enclosures are designed for harsh environments where corrosion resistance and durability are important. Non-metallic enclosures are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making them a practical choice for many industrial applications. The best choice depends on the environment and the specific needs of the installation.
