Schneider 2601BW1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Schneider 2601BW1 reversing drum switch handle a 5 HP single phase motor at 575V?
Yes. The Schneider 2601BW1 drum switch is rated 5 HP at 575VAC single phase, and 7.5 HP at 575VAC polyphase. Those are the ratings to size against, so a motor drawing more than that at 575V needs a larger device.
2) Can this drum switch be mounted in a washdown or wet area?
It ships in a NEMA 4 enclosure, which covers indoor and outdoor use with protection against windblown dust and hose-directed water. That makes it workable for washdown-adjacent equipment, pump houses, and outdoor conveyor drives. NEMA 4 is not a corrosion-rated 4X, so for chemical or saltwater exposure you want a 4X stainless or nonmetallic enclosure instead.
3) Is a reversing drum switch the right choice, or should I use a reversing magnetic starter?
A drum switch like the Schneider 2601BW1 is handle operated: the operator turns the handle to change motor direction, with no coil and no remote control. It suits machine tools, conveyors, pumps and fans where someone is standing at the machine. If you need pushbutton or PLC control, low-voltage control wiring, or overload protection built in, a reversing magnetic starter is the correct device, since a drum switch provides direction switching only.
4) Is the 2601BW1 a 3-pole switch, and can I use it on a three phase motor?
It is a 3-pole device, so all three line conductors are switched, which is what a three phase reversing application needs. Polyphase capacity is 7.5 HP at 575VAC. On single phase it is used with the appropriate winding connections at up to 5 HP, 575VAC.
5) Do I still need a separate disconnect and motor overload protection with this drum switch?
Yes. The Schneider 2601BW1 is a reversing drum switch, a direction-control device only, with 3-pole screw-clamp terminals and manual handle operation. Branch circuit short-circuit protection, a disconnecting means, and motor running overload protection all have to come from elsewhere in the circuit.
6) How much space do I need to mount the Schneider 2601BW1 drum switch?
Plan for 6.89 in height, 5.50 in depth and 4.40 in width on the enclosure, plus room to swing the handle and route conduit into the box. It is compact enough to sit on a machine column or a small panel back.
7) What kind of terminations does this Schneider drum switch use for field wiring?
Screw-clamp terminals. Strip and land the conductors directly, no lugs or crimp terminals required, and retorque after the first heat cycle as you would on any machine-mounted switch.
8) Does the Schneider 2601BW1 drum switch meet EU RoHS or REACH requirements?
No on both counts. The 2601BW1 is listed as not compliant with the EU RoHS Directive, and it contains Substances of Very High Concern above the REACH threshold. For projects with an EU compliance requirement this is not the part to specify. Country of origin is Mexico.
