Roam's Company Switches provide a secure, breakered connection point for temporary power output from a building's line power over Cam-Lock terminated cables. Applications for these Disconnects include lighting, mobile equipment, load banks, temporary buildings, convention/fair booths, or entertainment venue power.
Models are available at 200 Amps and 400 Amps, in both Single-Phase and Three-Phase versions, and in panels supporting up to 240 VAC, up to 480 VAC, and up to 600 VAC. All of Roam's Companly Switch panels are UL 891 listed, use Cooper Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok* brand E1016 (J-Series/16 Series) female Cam-Lock connectors, are NEMA 3R rated, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Company Switches—Interlockablity and FusedRoam's Company Switches (Breakered Disconnects) can be built with an outside door handle to flip the breaker. This allows for the same interlock feature of the Switched Disconnects, where the handle must be turned to the "Tripped" position for the front door to be opened. Roam recommends outside door handle breaker control, but we realize that many applications call for a traditional Company Switch, so we also make a version of this panel where the breaker handle is located inside the front door—but this version lacks the above safety feature.
Some local fire codes may require a shunt-trip disconnect feature, where power is shut off when the fire alarm is activated, Roam's Company Switches support this with an optional NO/NC contact that can be wired from Fire Alarm to trip the breaker to disconnect.
Either version of the Company Switch offers integrated short circuit protection; while the standard Switched Disconnect does not (however, the Switched Disconnect with fuses does).
Voltages up to 600VACRoam offers its Output Disconnect Panels in models that support up to 240 VAC (120v, 208v, 230v, 240v), up to 480 VAC (277v, 330v, 440v, 480v), and up to 600 VAC (575v, 577v, 600v), which are UL Listed at those voltage levels. Brown-Orange color coding (for labels, Cam-Locks, & Cam-Lock spring caps) is normally used for most 480 VAC applications. Only the up to 240A and up to 480A models are shown in the photos above.
Roam's Company Switch and Output Disconnect Panels accept either #2 to 2/0 (for 200A panels) or 2/0 to 4/0 cables (for 400A panels) via Cam-Lock plugs on the generator cable side. On the internal wireway side, these panels accept from 6 AWG to 350 MCM cables for 200A panels. For 400A panels, the internal wireway side connectors can be customer-specified as either single or dual conductor lugs. For single conductor lugs, Ground cable lugs accept from 6 AWG to 300 MCM, and Neutral, L1, L2, & L3 (L3 for Three-Phase power only) lugs accept from 4 AWG to 600 MCM. For dual conductors, all cable lugs accept from 6 AWG to 600 MCM.
All cables used should be specified by a qualified electrical designer or electrician to support the maximum possible current draw through a specific connection.
Normally, Company Switches are built with the Neutral connection not running through the switch (frequently referred to as a "solid" Neutral). However, Roam does offer a Switched Neutral option, where the Neutral connection is switched (i.e., an additional pole runs through the switch). All of Roam's Switched Neutral rated Company Switch have a "-SN" extension in their part number.
Any Roam panels with power connectors normally color-coded (for Cam-Locks, Spring Caps, and Labels) as L1=Black, L2=Red, & L3=Blue are also available in the typical Canadian color-coding format of L1=Red, L2=Black, & L3=Blue. If you need to order a unit with the Canadian color scheme, just add a "-CAN" to the end of the Model Number. The "-CAN" option includes all UL-required "Danger" and "Warning" labels in both English and French, For the cUL listing, a panel must be ordered with the -CAN option.
Roam's Company Switch can also be ordered with no neutral connection for sites and generator configurations designed for just Ground, L1, L2, and L3 cables (for Three-Phase power) or just Ground, L1, & L2 cables (for Single-Phase power) The "No Neutral" versions of all of these panels are also UL Listed. To order a panel without a neutral connector just add a "-NN" to the end of the Model Number. "No Neutral" panels use only four Cam-Lock connectors.
The "x" in the numerical section of the part number represents a code of either 1 for Single-Phase power or 3 for Three-Phase power. The "a" in the part number represents a code of either 2 (for up to 200A panels) or 4 (for up to 400A panels). The "v" in the part number represents a code of either 2 (for up to 240 VAC panels), 4 (for up to 480 VAC panels), or 6 (for up to 600 VAC panels). For the No Neutral option, add "-NN" to the base model number. For the Switched Neutral option, add "-SN" to the base model number. For the Breaker handle inside the lockable outer door, add a "-IN" to the base model number.
