An isolator is a manually operated electrical switch used to disconnect a circuit or equipment from the power supply for maintenance or safety purposes. Unlike automatic circuit breakers, isolators do not trip under fault conditions but are designed to be operated only when the electrical load is turned off. They are typically installed in distribution boards, industrial machines, or near outdoor electrical units such as air conditioners and solar panels. Isolators provide a visible break, giving assurance that the circuit is completely de-energised. Available in various configurations—single-pole, double-pole, or three-phase—isolators are essential for ensuring electrical safety during inspection, repairs, or upgrades. Their robust design and ease of use make them indispensable in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems.
