Industrial Panel Solutions: Zero Energy Utility-Disconnect Switch

March 26, 2020

Easily and safely verify the voltage and de-energize a control panel, MCC, or any piece of downstream equipment directly from our panel. The Zero Energy Utility-disconnect Switch (ZEUS), also known as a safety disconnect switch or isolation panel, isolates incoming power from the main enclosure. It lowers the risk of an arc flash hazard during maintenance of the interior devices. 

The PPE requirements for the use of Zero Energy Utility-disconnect Switch are level 0, saving operators PPE related time and hassle. The disconnect switch also ensures that all OSHA and NFPA 70E standards are met during Lock-out Tag-out.
