What it does
A disconnector separates equipment from its supply under its specified conditions. Whether it can also interrupt load current depends on the device's switching rating.
A simple example
In a switchyard, a disconnector provides an isolation point for a circuit section within the site's operating procedure.
What the drawings help you do
Use the selected manufacturer's drawings to check the equipment's size, mounting points and cable connections. The layout helps you plan where it fits and how it can be reached for maintenance. An illustrative 3D preview does not establish product dimensions or required clearances.
- Current
- The flow of electrical charge, measured in amps.
- Terminal
- An identified point where a conductor connects.
- Rating
- A value stating the conditions for which equipment is specified.

What it represents
Locate the switch body behind its selected handle and shaft arrangement. Check both the closed-door operating axis and the open-door access to terminals.
Use the linked manufacturer drawing or project mechanical files for dimensions and the exact selected revision. This original educational illustration is unitless and not to scale.
How to read it
- Record handle, shaft and door thickness.
- The non-fused switch does not provide a fuse position; upstream protection and the selected switching duty require separate coordination.
Information to show or reference
- Identify pole arrangement and selected switch body.
- Record handle, shaft and door thickness.
- Reserve terminal access and operating clearance.
A distinction that matters
The non-fused switch does not provide a fuse position; upstream protection and the selected switching duty require separate coordination.
