Schneider Electric S33171 Cradle Position Switch

Schneider Electric S33171 Low-Level Cradle Position Switch is a dedicated accessory for drawout MasterPact NW/NT and PowerPact P/Y frame circuit breakers. This Form C cradle switch (contacts 1a/1b) provides cradle-position feedback for Connected, Test, and Disconnected states, enabling explicit signaling to control circuits and safety interlocks. It supports a broad voltage range of 24–380 VAC or 24–250 VDC and requires a minimal load of 1 mA for reliable operation. Mounted on the breaker cradle, the S33171 integrates with Schneider Electric's cradle-position options to deliver consistent state indication across maintenance, isolation, and sequencing tasks in switchgear and panel assemblies. As part of Schneider Electric’s MasterPact NW/NT and PowerPact P/Y frame accessories, it ensures compatible signaling terminology and performance for engineers and technicians designing or servicing these breakers.
