Disconnector switches are utilized to de-energize components of the electrical network, such as overhead lines and transformers, for maintenance, inspections, and servicing. The primary function of disconnector switches is to visually indicate whether an electrical connection is open or closed. Key components include live parts, contact systems, supporting insulators, operating drive and connecting rods, and base frames.

Disconnector switches come in two main types: fused and non-fused. Fused disconnector switches serve as manual isolation devices for loads and distribution boards. These switches can carry and break specific rated currents, providing protection for downstream electrical loads and disconnecting all poles from the power supply load. They are adaptable, being mountable on panels, DIN rails, and other supports. Fused disconnector switches find applications across low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage scenarios in both commercial and industrial sectors.
