Q: What are the different types of isolator switches?
A: Common types are load break/non-load break, fusible/non-fusible, and number of poles.
Q: How do I choose the correct isolator switch size?
A: Size it based on the voltage rating and current capacity required.
Q: What is a typical price range for isolator switches?
A: $50 to $500 typically, depending on ratings and specifications.
Q: Where can I find isolator switch manufacturers?
A: Large electrical equipment suppliers like GRL manufacture quality switches.
Q: What factors affect isolator switch pricing?
A: Voltage, current, poles required, enclosure type, certifications, and accessories.
Q: How much do high amperage isolator switches cost?
A: 1000A to 3000A switches typically range from $200 to $1000.
Q: Can I get an isolator switch suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, outdoor isolator switches have NEMA 3R or 4X enclosures.
Q: What are the electrical ratings to look for when selecting isolator switches?
A: Voltage rating, continuous current rating, overload current ability.
Q: Do isolator switch suppliers offer technical support?
A: Yes, companies like GRL provide guidance on selecting the right switch.
Q: What type of isolator switch do I need for a solar installation?
A: Look for DC rated, load break switches rated for the system voltage.
Q: How do I install and wire an isolator switch?
A: Follow manufacturer guidelines. Ensure proper capacity and connections.
Q: What are safety standards for isolator switches?
A: ANSI C37.90, IEC 60947-3, EN 60947, and others based on region.
Q: How can I get the best price on isolator switches?
A: Buying larger quantities can get discounts. Compare supplier pricing.
Q: What switch accessories typically ship with isolator switches?
A: Common accessories included are auxiliary contacts, covers, operating handles, and bases.
Q: How do I obtain free isolator switch samples?
A: Contact manufacturer like GRL to request free samples for evaluation.
Q: How long is the typical isolator switch delivery time?
A: Most in-stock models ship within 1-2 weeks. Allow 4-6 weeks for custom.
Q: What is the difference between an isolator and a disconnect switch?
A: Isolators are designed for infrequent switching of de-energized circuits. Disconnect switches can make and break load current.
Q: Can I get an isolator switch UL certified?
A: Yes, quality isolator switches should meet UL 98 standard for safety.
Q: What maintenance is required on isolator switches?
A: Follow manufacturer guidance. Inspecting connections and lubricating parts annually.
Q: How do I know if I need a fusible or non-fusible isolator switch?
A: Consider if overcurrent protection is already provided elsewhere in your system.
