Eaton 3-Pole Panel Mount Isolator Switch -, IP65, 32A, 15 kW

Looking for a component that can serve as a main switch and a safety device at the same time? This high-performance isolator switch from Eaton both cuts off and permits power flow to the circuit, and can be locked in the off-state during maintenance, ensuring maximum safety. The switch has a rotary handle made of a thermoplastic material that's durable and serves as an insulator to protect you from electric short circuits. Switches like this are a vital component in the manufacturing and electrical distribution industries.

• Power rating of 15 kW suitable for heavy-duty applications

A trained and experienced electrician should always be the one to carry out the installation of an isolator switch. This is because the main power supply of the system has to be cut off and tested to ensure there's no residual current or incoming power supply.

Eaton's panel mount isolator switch can sometimes be referred to as a switch disconnector, this is because it has been created and designed to safely isolate a circuit whilst it is being used or maintained. This isolator switch breaks or isolates a circuit through the rotation of the rotary handle and locking ring, manually disconnecting the power supply to isolated parts of the circuit. This type of non-fused isolator switch will be found isolating circuit breakers, transmission lines, transformers and a multitude of other applications.

• The perfect solution for installing as a safety measure

Unlike fused switch disconnectors, a non-fuse isolator switch does not use a fuse to break or put a circuit into isolation, they instead use a rotary switch or knife-blade disconnect to isolate and de-energise a circuit. Commonly used in industrial automation and control settings.
