Eaton Rear of Panel Mounted Switch Disconnectors
The
P and T range of non-fused switch disconnectors from Eaton provides
safe switching, isolating and control. Robust and reliable, these
high-performance devices are used primarily in industrial and
engineering applications. With the added IP65 ingress protection rating
they are ideal for use in harsh environments or applications that
require extra protection.
Switch disconnectors are used to isolate
electrical equipment before any essential maintenance or repair work can
be completed. Switch disconnectors ensure electrical circuits are
de-energized safely in accordance with the electricity at work
regulations. Engineers and electricians are then able to carry out the
necessary works without any electrical risks.
Features and Benefits
• Compact and durable
• Clear position indication
• Padlockable in the OFF position with up to 3 x 8 mm padlocks
• Rear mounting, easily and quickly fitted on to DIN rail or a base plate

Applications
The
Eaton P and T series of manually operated switch disconnectors are used
in a wide range of industrial applications and installations. Some of
the most common are
• Machine control panels
• Isolation of circuit breakers
• Transformers and transmission lines
• Switchgear panels
• Distribution panels
• Consumer units
What is the difference between a fused switch disconnector and a non-fused switch disconnector?
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.
