BRYANT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BRYANT from 3G Electric.
What are the amperage and voltage ratings for Bryant toggle wall switches?
Bryant toggle wall switches are available in ratings from 15 A to 30 A at 120/277 V AC. Specific models include single-pole and double-pole configurations. For example, the 3001I is a single-pole, 30 A switch, while the 4801BI is a single-pole, 15 A switch. Double-pole versions like the 4802I are rated 15 A, and the 4902BRED is rated 20 A. All are maintained-contact types, meaning they stay in the set position until manually toggled. Voltage ratings cover both 120 V AC and 277 V AC, making them suitable for a range of commercial and industrial lighting and control circuits.
Does Bryant offer illuminated toggle switches?
Yes, Bryant produces illuminated toggle wall switches. One example is the 4801GLI, a single-pole, maintained toggle switch rated 15 A at 120/277 V AC with an ivory finish. The illuminated design provides visibility in low-light conditions, which can help locate the switch in dark areas. This model is non-GFCI and is intended for standard on/off control of lighting or other loads. Illuminated switches are typically used where indication of switch location or status is beneficial, such as in basements, hallways, or industrial control panels.
What is the difference between Bryant single-pole and double-pole toggle switches?
Bryant single-pole toggle switches control one circuit from one location, while double-pole switches control two separate circuits simultaneously. Single-pole models have two terminals and are used for standard on/off control of a single load. Double-pole models have four terminals and can switch two independent circuits at once, which is useful for applications requiring simultaneous disconnection of both hot and neutral conductors or for 240 V circuits. Both types are available in maintained contact configurations. For example, the 4901BW is a single-pole 20 A switch, and the 4902BRED is a double-pole 20 A switch.
What are the specifications of the Bryant 30 A locking receptacle?
The Bryant single locking receptacle is rated 30 A at 250 V AC with three poles and four wires. It has a black finish and includes mounting hardware. This receptacle is classified for general use in industrial markets and is suitable for heavy-duty equipment and temporary power connections. The locking design helps prevent accidental disconnection due to vibration or pulling. It is a non-GFCI device. The UNSPSC code is 39121406. This receptacle is intended for applications where a secure, high-current connection is required, such as in industrial power distribution systems.
Are Bryant wall switches available in different colors?
Bryant toggle wall switches are available in multiple colors to match various installation requirements. Common finishes include ivory, white, and red. For instance, the 3001I, 4801GLI, 4802I, and 4801BI have ivory finishes. The 4901BW is white, and the 4902BRED and 4901PLR120 are red. Color options allow for identification of specific circuits or aesthetic coordination in commercial and industrial settings. Red switches are often used to indicate emergency or dedicated circuits. All switches are designed for flush wall-mounting in standard electrical boxes.
What is the difference between Bryant general-purpose and locking receptacles?
Bryant general-purpose receptacles are designed for standard plug connections, while locking receptacles require a matching locking plug that twists to secure the connection. Locking receptacles, such as the 30 A model, are used in applications where vibration or accidental disconnection could be hazardous, such as industrial machinery or temporary power distribution. General-purpose receptacles are typically used for everyday electrical loads in commercial and industrial buildings. Both types are available in various ratings and configurations. The locking receptacle mentioned includes mounting hardware and is rated for 30 A at 250 V AC.
