63 Amp Double Pole DIN Rail Isolator Switch – 230/400V

The 63 Amp double pole (2P) DIN rail isolator is a manually operated switch used to completely disconnect both live and neutral conductors in single-phase electrical systems. Designed for safe isolation of electrical circuits during maintenance or emergencies, this device is ideal for use as a main switch in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations. It conforms to SANS IEC 60947-3 and is suitable for installation in compliance with SANS 10142-1.
