Safety with Himel Switch Disconnector

Get robust safety isolation with Himel Switch Disconnector

Human life is precious, and nothing can ever be comparably close to that. Electrical energy while essential to life and economy poses a high-risk with reckless handling. Electrical safety products help minimizing this risk during maintenance and repair. For example, engineers or personnel working on electrical circuits need to be sure whether the system is live or not. This is where the Switch Disconnector comes in picture. Disconnect Switches are safety devices which de-energize a circuit to enable a safe maintenance, testing or repair work. They are employed in varied environments ranging industrial power systems to high voltage power systems. Usually, their application is in a typical motor circuit for the isolation of important equipment like final distribution feeders, transformers, bus terminals, etc. Essentially, Switch Disconnectors enable a safe working condition by aiding in keeping the electrical supply open.

Operations of a Disconnect Switch

To isolate the electrical supply from a circuit, primarily the downstream breaker must be opened post which the Switch Disconnector would be switched off. This is done because they are designed and rated for offload breaking and making. Disconnect switches comes with both manual and motorized unit systems which supports the personnel’s approach for operations.

Switch Disconnectors can also be used in conjunction with an earth switch for cumulative effect in the safety infrastructure. Added on with the enclosure, these switches come in range of handles, flange mounted or rotary handles. The interlocks provide an additional safety preventing incident if doors open while the switch is still energized.

Benefits of Himel Switch Disconnector

The Disconnect Switches from Himel are designed to facilitate seamless downstream maintenance. With efficient control of electrical circuits and glitch-free circuit disconnection, they allow safe service required in commercial and industrial setups.

Ergonomic design

The Himel Switch Disconnector is designed for flexible assembly. With a range of independent accessory installations and the possibility to assemble six different accessories, it is easier and cost-efficient to accommodate. These switches can be mounted in positions other than the standard vertical alignment which increases the diversity in applications.

High performance-minimum maintenance

With an electrical durability of around 2500 cycles and mechanical durability of 5000 cycles, Himel Disconnect Switches are high-performance devices, a value add-on to your electrical safety infrastructure. Moreover, with the upgraded platform, the operating range has increased up to 6kA.

Wider ambient temperature

Himel Switch Disconnectors are designed to operate in a wider temperature range from -20 degree Celsius to 60-degree Celsius, providing a high degree of protection required for demanding applications.

User safety

Any solution for electrical safety should be safe itself. Himel’s range of Switch Disconnectors comprises sealed terminals, stripping torque indications, an internal arc-blocked board, and a CPI indicator-keeping personnel safe.

RoHS compliant

Himel Switch Disconnectors are RoHS compliant and applicable for safe usage in the European market, minimizing occupational exposure risks during manufacturing, usage, and recycling.
