Disconnect switch

[DanielVetpath]

Hi folks: I have three of these used switches in good shape. They were originally installed to shut off power to subpanels. My question is whether I could use one as a disconnect switch for a 7.5 hp 220v single phase air compressor. Pictures attached. Thanks for any input. Daniel

Any of the three would work.

Yes it says std 7.5HP, max 15HP for single phase

EDITED; read the wrong chart

Agree with the other posters, it's fine, they are 1970's vintage safety switches, ITE Imperial Corp. was bought out in 1976.

Max is actually 15hp on 240v single phase

 

[wyliesdiesels]

Max is actually 15hp on 240v single phase

[Norcal]

Either way it's still fine.

Thanks everyone for your input. I will post some follow up questions as part of a new thread regarding the install. Best, Daniel
