Disconnect Switches

Fusible and non-fusible disconnect switches, door-mounted handles, operating shafts, auxiliary contacts, terminal shields, and disconnect accessories for machinery, control panels, industrial equipment, motor circuits, facility power, and electrical isolation.

Industrial Power Isolation

Disconnect solutions for machinery, panels, equipment, and facility power

Disconnect switches provide a visible and manually operated means of isolating electrical equipment for installation, servicing, maintenance, emergency shutdown, and equipment lockout procedures.

Southern Electronics supplies industrial disconnect products from Sprecher + Schuh and Altech, including fusible and non-fusible switches, door-coupling handles, operating shafts, and compatible accessories.

Products and applications

  • Non-fusible rotary and industrial disconnect switches
  • Fusible disconnects for switching and circuit protection
  • Door-mounted rotary handles and operating shafts
  • Red/yellow, black, defeatable, and lockable handles
  • Auxiliary contacts, shields, lugs, and mounting components
  • Disconnect products for machinery, panels, and facilities
Selecting Disconnect Switches

Choose disconnects based on protection, rating, mounting, and operation

Product selection depends on system voltage, current rating, number of poles, fusible or non-fusible operation, enclosure or panel mounting, handle location, shaft length, lockout needs, and connected equipment.

Fusible vs. Non-Fusible Disconnects

Non-fusible disconnects provide manual switching and isolation, while fusible disconnects also accommodate fuses for overcurrent and short-circuit protection.

  • Manual equipment isolation
  • Fusible and non-fusible configurations
  • Single- and multi-pole designs
  • Machinery and motor applications
  • Industrial and facility power systems

Door-Coupled Operation

Door-mounted handles and operating shafts allow an internal disconnect to be operated from outside an enclosure while supporting interlocking and lockout functions.

  • External rotary handles
  • Red/yellow and black handle styles
  • Adjustable operating shafts
  • Door interlock and defeater options
  • Padlockable operating mechanisms

Accessories & System Completion

Compatible accessories help complete the disconnect assembly, support indication and control, protect terminals, adapt conductor connections, and replace damaged components.

  • Auxiliary and signaling contacts
  • Terminal shields and covers
  • Lugs and conductor accessories
  • Mechanical interlocks
  • Mounting and replacement components
