An isolator, also known as an electrical disconnect switch or isolation switch, is an electrical switching device used to isolate a specific part of an electrical circuit from the rest of the system. The primary purpose of an isolator is to provide a means of de-energizing and disconnecting equipment or circuits for maintenance, repair, or safety purposes.
Key features and aspects of an isolator include:
- Standard Conformity: IS/IEC 60947-3
- Poles: SP, DP, TP & FP
- Current rating: 40, 63, 100 & 125A
- Rated Voltage: 240/415-AC
- Rated frequency:50Hz
- Protection class: IP20
An isolator, also known as an electrical disconnect switch or isolation switch, is an electrical switching device used to isolate a specific part of an electrical circuit from the rest of the system. It allows for the safe disconnection of equipment or circuits for maintenance, repair, or safety purposes.
Isolators are manually operated switches that physically disconnect the circuit by opening the electrical contacts. When the isolator is in the "open" position, it breaks the electrical connection, effectively isolating the circuit from the power source.
