Isolator

Devices rated for handling high voltage levels, used to isolate a portion of the electrical circuit during maintenance or repair.

Isolators, also known as disconnectors, are devices used in electrical systems to isolate a portion of the circuit for maintenance or repair. Rated for handling high voltage levels, isolators ensure that electrical equipment can be safely serviced without the risk of electric shock or short circuits. These devices are typically used in substations, industrial plants, and distribution networks, where they provide a means of disconnecting specific sections of the system from the main power supply. Isolators are designed to be manually operated, providing a visible gap between contacts when open, which serves as a clear indication that the circuit is de-energized. This feature enhances safety for maintenance personnel and ensures compliance with safety regulations. Isolators are available in various types, including single-pole, double-pole, and triple-pole configurations, to suit different application requirements. Their robust construction and high-quality materials ensure reliable performance and long service life, making them an essential component in the safe operation and maintenance of electrical systems.
