Isolators, also known by various other names such as disconnect switches, isolation switches, main switches, or isolating switches, are commonly found in M&E (mechanical and electrical) drawings and industrial settings with multiple machines and production lines.
Isolators function as an ON-OFF switch, allowing the opening and closing of electrical circuits. They are capable of interrupting electrical currents ranging from several tens to nearly 2000A, whether it is DC (direct current) or AC (alternating current).

Applications: Isolators serve as a disconnect switch for air conditioning units, motors, pumps, and other electrical equipment. They are typically installed in front of the motor or within an electrical panel to facilitate maintenance and servicing of the system.
Based on their construction, isolators can be classified into two types: enclosed isolators and open isolators.
The open-type isolators, which do not have an enclosure, can be mounted on a DIN rail or on the inside of an electrical panel. They are commonly used in conjunction with a kit that includes a mounting bracket and an extended connecting bar.
The enclosed-type isolators are designed to be mounted in front of motors or electrical equipment. The housing of the isolator must be robust and provide sufficient safety measures, as it serves as the switch for manually opening and closing a high current electrical circuit. These isolators often operate in environments that are hot, humid, dusty, or even outdoors.
Indeed, depending on the specific requirements and the magnitude of the current to be switched, the choice of enclosure material for isolator housings may have additional considerations such as noise resistance and fire resistance.
