What's Fuse Switch Disconnector and how do they work?

A Fused Switch Disconnector (FSD) is an electrical device which combines the functionality of a fuse, a switch, and a disconnector, all in one handy package. They are used in power distribution systems as a means to manage and protect electrical circuits. An FSD allows for safer operation and maintenance, as they work by isolating specific circuits and equipment from the power supply. The fuses within this device provide protection as they will blow when short-circuits and overcurrents occur, while the disconnector is there to ensure that the electrical circuit is completely isolated from the power source. They allow a high degree of manual control due to the switch function, as it can be turned off or on. You'll find these units commonly used in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, construction, oil and gas, agriculture, and data centres. Compared to non-fused switches they provide a higher level of safety.
