• Aesthetic Consistency: Eliminates the need for unsightly industrial isolators. This unit allows you to maintain the elegant, cohesive look of the Oracle range throughout your property, even for high-function safety devices.
• Long-Term Durability: The resilient polycarbonate body withstands impacts and will not become brittle or discoloured over time, ensuring a long service life and a lasting pristine appearance.
• Guaranteed Compliance: NRCS certification provides absolute assurance that your installation is legally compliant, safe, and meets the stringent requirements for fixed appliances in South Africa.
• Clean and Efficient Installation: The thoughtful clip-off surround protects the unit from paint and plaster, allowing for a neater, faster, and more professional installation.
• Versatile Application: Provides a single, stylish solution for isolating a wide range of powerful equipment, from kitchen cooktops to commercial air conditioning units.

In-Depth Technical Specifications

The Onesto 60A 2P 4x4 Isolator is precision-engineered for safety-critical applications. The following table details its complete technical specifications.

Ideal Use

The Onesto 60A 2P 4x4 Isolator is the mandatory and ideal choice for providing a local point of safe disconnection for high-current, single-phase fixed appliances:

• Large Electric Stoves & Ovens: Essential for isolating high-capacity cooktops, hobs, and built-in ovens.
• High-Capacity Geysers: Providing safe isolation for large residential or commercial electric water heaters.
• Heavy-Duty HVAC Systems: Suitable for large single-phase air conditioning or heat pump units.
• Large Swimming Pool Pumps: Safely isolating powerful pumps and heating equipment for maintenance.
• Workshop & Light Industrial Machinery: Perfect for fixed machinery such as large compressors, welders, or saws that operate on a high-current single-phase supply.
• Any application where SANS 10142-1 wiring regulations mandate a 60A switch-disconnector for a permanently connected appliance.

Tips

Correct installation and use of this high-current safety device are critical. Please ensure adherence to the following expert advice:

• CRITICAL - MUST Be Installed by a Professional: This is not a DIY product. Installation of a 60A isolator must only be carried out by a qualified and certified electrician in strict accordance with SANS 10142-1 regulations to ensure safety and legality.
• Use Correct Wire Gauge: The electrician must use electrical cabling that is appropriately rated for a 60A load. Using undersized wiring is extremely dangerous and a significant fire hazard.
• Verify Application Needs: Consult your electrician to confirm that a 2-Pole isolator is correct for your appliance. While it is standard for most single-phase appliances, some equipment may have different requirements.
• Ensure Secure Terminal Connections: The high current flowing through this device demands perfectly secure connections. The electrician must ensure the terminal screws are tightened to the correct torque to prevent arcing and overheating.
• Accessible Installation Location: Per regulations, the isolator must be installed in an accessible position, typically within 1.5 meters of the appliance it is controlling, to allow for quick disconnection in an emergency.
• Regular Testing: As part of routine electrical maintenance, it is good practice to have your electrician check the function of the isolator switch to ensure it operates correctly.
• Cleaning Protocol: To clean the unit, use only a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents to protect the high-gloss polycarbonate finish.
