ISOLATE DISCONNECTOR SWITCH

LV–MV Electrical Isolation Equipment (Up to 36kV)

Integrated Power & Engineering

Integrated Power & Engineering designs, manufactures, and supplies high-quality Isolator / Disconnector Switches engineered to provide safe, visible, and reliable electrical isolation for low- and medium-voltage power systems. Our isolators are developed to ensure operator safety, regulatory compliance, and system integrity, making them essential components in substations, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and renewable energy installations.

Manufactured using high-grade insulating materials, corrosion-resistant metal components, and precision operating mechanisms, our isolator switches are built to deliver dependable performance under continuous service and demanding site conditions.

Product Overview

An isolator (disconnector) is a mechanical switching device designed to ensure complete electrical separation of a circuit under no-load conditions. Unlike circuit breakers, isolators provide a clearly visible open gap, confirming that the circuit is fully de-energized and safe for maintenance.

Integrated Power & Engineering isolators are designed to:

  • Ensure total circuit isolation
  • Prevent accidental energization
  • Enable safe maintenance procedures
  • Support compliance with electrical safety regulations

What is the main function of an isolator switch? +
An isolator provides complete electrical isolation of a circuit by creating a visible open gap, ensuring safe maintenance under no-load conditions.
Can an isolator be used to break load current? +
No. Isolators are designed to operate only when the circuit is de-energized. Load breaking must be done by a circuit breaker or load break switch.
What is the difference between an isolator and a circuit breaker? +
A circuit breaker interrupts fault and load current, while an isolator only provides physical disconnection for safety and maintenance.
Are your isolators suitable for outdoor installations? +
Yes. Outdoor isolators are available with IP-rated enclosures and corrosion-resistant materials.
Do you offer motorized isolator switches? +
Yes. Motorized and remotely operated isolators are available for automation and SCADA integration.
What voltage levels do your isolators support? +
Our isolators support LV and MV systems up to 36kV, depending on project requirements.
Can isolators be interlocked with circuit breakers? +
Yes. Mechanical and electrical interlocking can be provided to ensure safe switching sequences.
Are padlocking facilities available? +
Yes. Padlocking features are available to support lockout/tagout safety procedures.
What standards do your isolators comply with? +
Our isolators are manufactured in compliance with IEC 60947-3, BS EN 60947, IEEE C37, and related safety standards.
Can isolators be customized for specific projects? +
Yes. Pole configuration, current rating, enclosure type, and operating mechanism can be customized to meet project specifications.
