Key Features
- Genuine OEM Electrical Spec — Built to Multiquip's original switching specifications, including correct contact rating and actuation characteristics for core drill motor control circuits.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Mounts and connects exactly as the original assembly, with matching connector configuration for the KD1800 and KD6 platforms.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified for KD1800, KD1800KD6, and KD6 core drill models.
- Consistent Motor Engagement — A properly functioning magnetic switch delivers clean, repeatable motor start and stop cycles, preventing erratic operation or failure to start under load.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — As a switching component in the motor control circuit, using the correct OEM-specified assembly maintains the intended safety switching behavior of the drill.
A magnetic switch assembly controls the engagement and disengagement of the electric motor by using an electromagnetic coil to open and close high-current contacts. In a core drill, this switch handles the heavy current load required to start and run the motor, protecting both the operator and the machine from direct switch contact with full motor current. When the magnetic switch fails or wears out, the drill may refuse to start, start erratically, or fail to cut power reliably — all of which interrupt work and can create unsafe operating conditions.
