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
• Used as an emergency switching off/emergency stop device
• The basic functions are when 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
• Rated uninterrupted current of up to 32 A
• Lockable in the 0/OFF position, with up to three padlocks
• Red rotary handle and yellow locking ring, providing an aesthetically pleasing finish
• Common accessories: 262-3784, 219-1445, 219-1439

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.

This isolator switch from Eaton provides a safe way to disconnect electrical equipment and machinery during maintenance. It's used in heavy-duty industrial environments to cut off power to circuits in the off-load condition. It can serve as a main switch, maintenance or service controller or even as an emergency-stop lever. A tough thermoplastic enclosure with excellent impact resistance ensures the switch offers a long service life. This material also serves as insulation from electrical short circuits for added safety. You can find switches like this used in machine control panels as well as distribution control stations.

• Lockable in the OFF position with three padlocks to conform to LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out) safety protocols
• Flush mounting type on panels for space efficiency
• Screw termination for easy installation
• Yellow and red handle for easy identification in case of an emergency
• IP65 (ingress protection) rating to withstand dust and low-pressure water jets

Fused isolator switches use a fuse to break the power flow to the circuit. Non-fused disconnectors however use a rotary handle or knife-blade disconnect to de-energise circuits.
