📦 Product Specification — HAGER 2-Pole Isolator Switch (2P)

Here’s a typical specification for a HAGER 2-Pole Isolator, a manual disconnect switch used to safely isolate single-phase or two-wire circuits (phase + neutral) for maintenance and safety:

Key Technical Specification

🔎 Explanation of Key Terms

• 2-Pole (2P): Disconnects both the phase and neutral conductors together, ensuring the circuit is fully isolated before work is done. 

• Rated Current (Iu): Maximum continuous current the isolator can safely carry. For example:
  • 20 A — light circuits
  • 32 A — general use 
  • 40 A — moderate load 
  • 63 A — heavier circuits

• Rated Short-Time Withstand Current (Icw): How much fault energy the switch can withstand for a short time (e.g., in a fault condition). Higher values indicate stronger construction. 

• Ingress Protection (IP66): Weatherproof versions can be used outdoors (dust tight + strong water jets). 

• AC Categories: Show suitability for switching different types of loads (AC21 for general use; AC23 for motor or inductive loads). 

📍 Typical Use Cases

✔ Service isolation for appliances before maintenance
✔ Main disconnect for single-phase circuits
✔ Safe shutdown of equipment before servicing
✔ Outdoor installations when IP66 weatherproof models are used
✔ Industrial or domestic switchboards

📌 Example Variants from Hager

• HAGER 20A 2P Enclosed Weatherproof Isolator JG220IN – Compact weatherproof isolator for 20 A circuits.

• HAGER 32A 2P Weatherproof Enclosed Isolator JG232IN – Outdoor-rated isolator with moderate current capacity.

• HAGER 40A 2P Weatherproof Enclosed Isolator JG240IN – Mid-range isolator for heavier loads.

• ORIGINAL HAGER SBN263 2 POLE 63A Isolator Switch – Larger isolator switch for higher-current circuits.

• HAGER SBN240 2P 40A Isolator Switch / Hager 2P Isolator 40A 63A – General isolators suitable for panel use.

• Hager 2P Pole Isolator Switch sbn280 / Hager 2P Pole Isolator Switch sbn299 – Larger modular isolators for robust setups.

💡 Note: A 2-Pole Isolator does not provide overload or short-circuit protection like a breaker — it simply disconnects the circuit mechanically to ensure safe isolation during maintenance. You still pair it with protective devices (MCBs/RCCBs/MCCBs).
