CBI Isolator 63A 2P 3kA

• The CBI Electric QA-S-2(13) (Part No. QAL20063) is an ultra-compact, 2-pole switch disconnector designed for reliable manual isolation of AC circuits up to 415 Vac.
• Based on the space-saving 13mm-per-pole QA(13) platform, this 26mm wide isolator fits efficiently onto mini rails.
• Rated for 63 Amps operational current and compliant with the SANS 60947-3 standard for switch disconnectors, it provides a safe and dependable means to manually disconnect two poles simultaneously (typically Line + Neutral or Line 1 + Line 2). Its robust construction, clear ON/OFF indication, and LED power indicator make it suitable for main isolation points or local isolation for equipment maintenance, provided that circuit protection is handled by a separate upstream device. 
• Note: This device offers NO automatic overcurrent or short circuit protection.

Features

• Type: Switch Disconnector / Isolator (Manual Switching & Isolation ONLY)

• Poles: 2 Pole (Suitable for Single Phase L+N or Two-Phase L1+L2 isolation)

• Rated Operational Current (Ie): 63 Amps

• Rated Operational Voltage (Ue): 415 Vac (Line-to-Line)

• Standard Compliance: SANS 60947-3

• Compact Design: Ultra-compact 26mm width (2 x 13mm modules).

• Mounting: Mini Rail Mount (Black Shell).

• Operation: Manual ON/OFF switching via linked handle.

• Indication: Clear ON/OFF handle position. LED indicator for power presence.

• Isolation Function: Provides certified safe electrical isolation for two poles.

• Durability: High mechanical endurance (10,000 operations); withstands 5G vibration and 16G shock.

• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C.

• Busbar Compatible: Shell design suitable for integration with compatible busbar systems.

• Terminals: Accepts wire sizes 0.75 - 35 mm² per pole.

Benefits

• Safe Double-Pole Isolation: Allows for the complete and certified manual disconnection of two poles (e.g., Line and Neutral) for safe maintenance procedures.

• Extreme Space Savings: The 26mm width is significantly smaller than standard 2-pole isolators, enabling higher density panel designs.

• Reliable Manual Operation: Engineered for dependable switching performance at the rated 63A current.

• Clear Status Confirmation: Handle position and integrated LED provide unambiguous indication of the isolator's state (ON/OFF) and power presence.

• Compliance: Meets the specific safety and performance requirements of SANS 60947-3 for switch disconnectors.

• Robust and Durable: Built to last in demanding industrial and commercial environments.

• Simplified Installation: Mini rail mounting streamlines panel assembly.

Technical Specification

 Ideal Use

• Main Isolator (Single Phase): Used as the main incoming switch for single-phase distribution boards requiring Line and Neutral isolation.

• Equipment Isolation (Single or Two Phase): Providing a safe point of disconnection for single-phase or two-phase equipment (up to 415V L-L) for maintenance.

• Load Switching: Manually switching circuits up to 63A where overcurrent protection is handled upstream.

• Compact Panel Builds: Ideal for high-density panels where space is limited.

• HVAC Systems: Isolating single-phase components or control circuits.

Tips

• Isolator Function Only: This is NOT a circuit breaker. It provides manual switching and isolation but offers NO automatic protection against overloads or short circuits. Ensure adequate upstream protection (fuse or MCB) is installed.

• Standard Compliance: Verify that SANS 60947-3 compliance is appropriate for the intended application as an isolator.

• Voltage Rating: Suitable for systems up to 415 Vac Line-to-Line or 240 Vac Line-to-Neutral.

• Wiring: Connect the appropriate conductors (L+N or L1+L2) to the respective poles. Use correct wire size (0.75-35mm²) and torque terminals to 2.5 Nm.

• Operation: Use the handle for deliberate ON/OFF switching. It will not trip automatically.
