280928 P5-160/V/SVB, Eaton 3P Pole Panel Mount Isolator Switch - 160A Maximum Current, 55kW Power Rating, IP65

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.

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.
