Schneider 2601AG2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What horsepower motors will the Schneider 2601AG2 drum switch handle?
The 2601AG2 reversing drum switch is rated 2 HP at 230 V AC, 1.5 HP at 115 V AC, 2 HP at 200 V AC and 2 HP at 460 V, with a 600 V AC switch rating. Size your motor by nameplate voltage, not just horsepower: a 2 HP motor on 115 V exceeds the switch, since at 115 V it tops out at 1.5 HP.
2) Can I use this drum switch to reverse a single phase motor?
Yes. The Schneider 2601AG2 is a reversing drum switch rated 2 HP at 230 VAC single phase, and 2 HP at 575 VAC polyphase, so it covers both single phase and three phase reversing duty. On a single phase motor the reversing is done by swapping the start winding leads, so the motor has to have its start winding leads brought out to the terminal box. Permanent split capacitor and split phase motors with accessible start leads work; a motor with an internal centrifugal switch and only two leads out cannot be reversed with any drum switch.
3) Is this drum switch OK to mount outdoors or in a washdown area?
No. The enclosure is NEMA 1, which means indoor general purpose only: it guards against incidental contact and falling dirt, with no protection against rain, hose-down, or corrosive wash chemicals. For an outdoor pump, a dock, or a food-processing washdown line you need a NEMA 4 or 4X rated switch instead. Inside a dry plant, machine shop, or mechanical room the NEMA 1 box is the normal choice.
4) Does a drum switch give me motor overload protection like a starter does?
No. A reversing drum switch is a manual three pole switching device with a handle, not a magnetic starter. It changes motor direction and stops the motor, but it carries no overload relay, no coil, and no low voltage release, so the motor restarts on its own when power returns. If the application needs running overload protection or the motor must stay off after a power dip, use a reversing magnetic starter with overload relays and keep the drum switch for hand-operated direction control on machines where an operator is present.
5) How much space do I need to mount the Schneider 2601AG2 drum switch?
Footprint is 5.38 in high, 4.61 in deep and 2.68 in wide, so it fits on a narrow machine column or beside a conveyor frame where a full starter enclosure will not. Allow extra depth in front of the 4.61 in body for the operating handle swing and room below for conduit entry and bending the motor leads.
6) What wire terminations does this drum switch use, and will it take stranded conductors?
Connections are screw-clamp terminals, which clamp the conductor under a pressure plate rather than directly under a screw head. That accepts stranded motor lead wire without needing ferrules or crimped spade lugs, and it resists loosening from machine vibration better than a bare screw. Strip to the terminal's strip length and torque to the label on the device.
7) Is this a 3 pole drum switch, and does that mean I can use it on a three phase motor?
It is a 3-pole device, and yes, three poles is what a three phase reversing drum switch needs: two of the three motor leads swap when the handle moves to the opposite position while the third stays put. It is rated 2 HP at 575 VAC polyphase. Used on a single phase motor, the three poles instead handle line, run winding and start winding.
8) Does the Schneider 2601AG2 drum switch comply with EU RoHS or REACH?
It is not EU RoHS compliant, and under REACH the reference contains Substances of Very High Concern above the threshold. It falls in scope for legacy WEEE. If your project or facility carries an EU RoHS purchasing requirement, this switch will not satisfy it. Country of origin is Mexico.
9) Is a drum switch the right control for a conveyor or a machine tool that runs both directions?
It suits machines where an operator stands at the control and picks direction by hand: conveyors, machine tools, hoists on small equipment, pumps and fans that need occasional reversal. The handle gives forward, off and reverse in one motion. Where direction is commanded remotely, by a PLC, by limit switches, or from more than one station, a magnetic reversing starter with pushbutton stations is the correct device instead, because a drum switch has no coil to be operated electrically.
