Industrial Control Systems

A rotary isolator is a lockable rotary switch fitted next to a machine, motor or air conditioning unit that disconnects it completely from the supply. It gives maintenance staff a local, visible point of isolation before they work on the equipment.

A rotary isolator is fitted next to the equipment it serves, giving a local, lockable point of isolation. A switch disconnector usually lives in the distribution board or panel and isolates the whole circuit. Many installations need both.

An isolator provides a guaranteed, lockable break in every pole of the supply so a circuit cannot be re-energised while someone is working on it. An ordinary functional switch controls the load but is not designed to prove safe isolation.

An MCB protects a circuit by tripping automatically on overload or fault current. A switch disconnector provides manual isolation only and offers no protection. Boards typically pair a switch disconnector as the incomer with MCBs or RCBOs on the ways.

Industrial CEE sockets are built for repeated use, weather and mechanical abuse, carry higher current ratings from 16A upwards, and are keyed and colour-coded by voltage so the wrong plug physically cannot be inserted. A domestic 13A socket offers none of that.

Blue is 230V single phase, red is 400V three phase and yellow is 110V for site transformer supplies. Pin configuration and current rating are listed on every product page, so match colour, amps and IP rating to the supply.

An interlocked socket will not release the plug while the supply is switched on, so equipment cannot be unplugged under load. They are standard practice for machinery and outdoor power in commercial settings.

DIN rail is the standardised metal rail that switchgear, terminals, relays and controllers clip onto inside panels. The common top-hat profile is 35mm wide, so any DIN-mount device in the range clips to any of our rail lengths.

For rain-exposed positions look for IP65 or better. Every isolator listing states its rating, so check it against the location before ordering.

Yes. Eaton Memshield 3 and Exel 2 range devices and accessories are available from stock, alongside Europa switchgear alternatives.

Yes. Rail lengths, terminal blocks, end stops and marking accessories are all listed as separate items, so you only buy what the panel needs.

Pilot lights give a clear visual indication that a circuit, phase or machine state is live, so faults are spotted at a glance. Panel-mount indicators in standard cutout sizes are stocked in the common colours.
