What is an Isolator Switch?
An isolator switch, also known as a disconnect switch, is a manually operated switch that disconnects part of the circuit from the power supply. It is employed for safe maintenance and repair purposes, with distinct visual disconnection from live parts. It is particularly important in areas where high power machinery or outdoor electrical installations are prevalent.
Key Features of the Clipsal 56SWH325
The 56SWH325 is known for its strength and industrial-grade suitability. Here’s why it’s a professional favorite:
1. High Protection Rating (IP66)
The IP66 rating indicates the switch is totally dust-tight and shielded from strong water jets. It’s perfect for washdown areas, outdoor applications, and dusty construction sites.
2. Three Pole Configuration
Since it has a 3-pole arrangement, this switch is suited to three-phase electric arrangements, which are the norm in industrial installations. It provides complete circuit separation for complete safety.
3. Heavy-Duty Polycarbonate Housing
The housing is constructed with UV-stabilised polycarbonate, which is famous for durability, shock resistance, and prolonged service even in sunlight and chemical exposure.
4. Padlock Handle
Safety is improved with a padlockable rotary handle that keeps the switch in the OFF position during servicing to avoid re-energizing by accident.
5. Easily Identified ON/OFF Positions
The rotary switch is marked clearly, with immediate visual indication of the switch position, which is important for emergency shutdowns or maintenance.
6. Simple Installation with Rear Entry Options
The 56SWH325 features several cable entry points and accepts standard conduit fittings, making it easy to install in both new installations and retrofit applications.
