KSD32 - Switch Disconnector
Description
The KSD32 is a key driven 32amp switch disconnector suitable for the isolation or switching of 32 amp (maximum) current. The type of disconnector used is suitable for ‘on load’ isolation, can be operated by unskilled personnel and is suitable for extended periods of isolation. The standard KSD comes with 6 poles plus 2 auxiliary early break contacts. The KSD is manufactured from either brass or stainless steel making it suitable for use in standard or harsh corrosive environments. The unit is supplied suitable for mounting into an existing panel or for surface mounting within its own IP65 rated lockable steel enclosure.
Operation
Under normal operating conditions the key is retained in the lock portion. Rotation and subsequent removal of the key will alter the condition of the contacts within the switch, from all of the contacts closed to open. The switch condition cannot be changed without the correctly coded key.
Typical System
The KSD is designed to operate as part of an integrated safety system, controlling access to hazardous areas. A typical example of machine isolation and access control is shown below. Typical machinery using the KSD range are motor driven, high risk applications where complete isolation of the power supply is required or lengthy maintenance periods are likely.
System Description
The removal of the key in the KSD32 changes the condition of the electrical supply to the machine to a safe condition. This key is then used to unlock the interlock on the access door. The guard can only be opened when the electrical supply has been switched into a safe condition
