HAGERS Isolating Switches

HAGERS Isolating Switches, also known as disconnectors or isolators, are electrical devices designed to completely disconnect a circuit from the power source. They are not intended for regular on/off switching and are primarily used for:

Maintenance and isolation: Isolating portions of a circuit for safe maintenance or repair work.
Safety: Providing a visible and physical disconnect point for emergency situations or equipment de-energization.
Metering: Allowing for safe meter removal or access for reading purposes.

Description

HAGERS offers various Isolating Switches catering to different needs and applications. Here’s a summary of their key features:

Manual operation: Operated by a rotary handle or lever, providing a clear visual indication of the switch position (on/off).
Variety of configurations: Available in single, double, three, and four poles to suit different circuit requirements.
Amperage ratings: Offered in various amperage ratings to handle diverse current loads.
Compact design: Designed for space-efficient installation within enclosures or on mounting panels.
Positive contact indication: Often equipped with clear visual indicators displaying the on/off status for enhanced safety and convenience.

It’s crucial to note that:

HAGERS Isolating Switches are not intended for interrupting currents under load. Doing so can create arcing and pose safety hazards.
Only qualified electricians should handle electrical work, including installation, maintenance, and operation of Isolating Switches.

Here are some additional points to consider when selecting HAGERS Isolating Switches:

Voltage rating: Ensure the switch is compatible with the voltage of your electrical system.
Number of poles: Select the appropriate number of poles based on the number of conductors in your circuit (single-phase or three-phase).
Current rating: Choose a switch with an amperage rating exceeding the maximum expected current in your circuit.

By implementing HAGERS Isolating Switches in your electrical system, you can enhance safety and facilitate maintenance procedures while ensuring a reliable power supply.
