MENNEKES CDS/DS Clean Motor Disconnects

September 14, 2020

Mennekes’ CDS/DS Series is the industry’s first non-metallic, curved-top disconnect switch. Its innovative design incorporates a curved profile that eliminates standing water, minimizing contaminant buildup in food applications. Rated for 30A and up to 25HP, the CDS Series satisfies most motor LO/TO requirements, achieves a watertight seal and meets UL Type 4X; 12, IP69K and NSF requirements. If your application doesn’t require a curved design, Mennekes’ DS Series incorporates many of the same features as CDS units, but its flat roof allows for top and bottom conduit.
