Eaton Enclosed Isolator Switch Eaton's 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. This type of non-fused isolator switch will be found isolating circuit breakers, transmission lines, transformers and a multitude of other applications. Features & Benefits • The perfect solution for installing as a safety measure
• Used as an emergency switching off/emergency stop device
• The basic functions: used as a main switch, maintenance switch or manual override switch
• Thermoplastic, high impact surface mounting enclosure with an IP65 rating - this means that the enclosure part of the isolator has ingress protection against dust and is also protected against low-pressure jets of water that comes from all directions
• Built-in earth commoning block
• Lockable in the 0/OFF position, with up to three padlocks
• Totally insulated
• Red rotary handle and yellow locking ring, providing an aesthetically pleasing finish What is the difference between a fused switch disconnector and a non-fused switch disconnector? 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 to disconnect or isolate a circuit.
