Get Ruhrtal Disconnector Form

The three-position switching of SM6 switch/disconnector/earth switch function means that the main contacts can be ONLY connected to ONE of the three positions (Closed – Opened – Earthed) at a given instant which represent a natural interlocking system that prevents incorrect operation that enhances the operator safety ...

A disconnector, isolator switch, or disconnector switch is used to de-energize the current for maintenance and service. In electric engineering, a disconnector is used to break the circuit found in the electrical distribution. They are used in industrial applications. A disconnector can be manually or motor-operated.

A disconnector (disconnecting switch) is a switching device used to provide safe isolation by de-energising parts of an electrical network e.g. an overhead line, transformer, or bus bar etc. By virtue of their isolating function, disconnectors are sometimes also called isolators.

Disconnect switches may be categorized as fusible, non-fusible, enclosed fusible, and enclosed non-fusible switches.

The load break switch makes, breaks, and carries currents. The disconnector acts as a safety measure; it isolates a part or the whole of a circuit and prevents current from flowing through; this is done to prevent hazards during inspection, maintenance, and repair.

In the current condition, you will find different types of switch disconnectors that include circuit breakers, fuse switch disconnectors, and normal disconnectors.

The major types of disconnectors are: Centre-break disconnectors. Double-break disconnectors. Pantograph disconnectors.

An exception to this is a disconnect switch, which is used to connect or disconnect power to an entire control panel, or machine. Simply put, a switch is designed to switch power on and off, a circuit breaker “breaks” the circuit in an overload or fault condition.
