Disconnect Switches
A safety switch (also known as a “disconnect switch,” or “load break switch”) serves multiple purposes, but its primary functions are to function as a disconnect means for a service entrance and a disconnect means and fault protection for motors (heavy machinery).
What does this mean? Safety switches are primarily used to disconnect manufacturing equipment and heavy machinery from its power source. You may need to disconnect your equipment from its electrical supply for a variety of reasons, including:
- Repairs
- Maintenance
- Emergency stoppage
Safety switches are a NEC requirement (National Electrical Code) in all industrial or manufacturing facilities established by the National Fire Protection Association. According to NEC article 430.102B, a safety switch must be in sight from all motors or manufacturing equipment. The NEC defines “in sight” as visible and not more than 50 feet from the equipment it controls.
