Trapped Key Power Isolation Switches (Die-Cast)
The initial step in implementing a Trapped Key System involves the isolation of the switchgear or machinery, or both if the operation is complex. There are three common methods of isolation typically utilized, including mechanical isolation, control circuit isolation, and power supply isolation.
The isolation key is utilized to open an access lock with the same code. If multiple access points exist, a key exchange unit may be utilized to release keys with different codes, allowing several gates to be open simultaneously.
IDEM offers power isolation switches in various mounting options and with the capability to switch up to 63A on selected models.
