Trinity 2 Pole Isolator 4X2

• Provides an essential and legally required safety device for the local isolation of high-power fixed appliances like geysers and stoves.
• Engineered as a double pole switch, simultaneously disconnecting both the Live and Neutral conductors for uncompromised safety during maintenance.
• Perfectly combines SANS-compliant electrical safety with the sophisticated, modern aesthetic of the Trinity wiring accessory range.
• Delivered as a complete, ready-to-install 4x2 unit, eliminating the need for bulky, industrial-looking isolators that disrupt interior design.
• Features the signature Trinity ultra-slim 8.5mm profile and a distinct red switch lever for clear and immediate identification.
• Constructed from high-grade, durable polycarbonate, ensuring a long-lasting, robust installation in any environment.

Features

• Double Pole Switching: The core safety feature. The mechanism disconnects both Live and Neutral connections at the same time, completely isolating the appliance from the power supply.
• High Current Ratings: Available in both 30 Amp and 45 Amp versions to safely handle the specific load requirements of different fixed appliances.
• Clear ON/OFF Indication: Features a prominent red switch lever with clear "ON" and "OFF" markings for unambiguous status indication.
• Standard 4x2 Footprint: Designed to be installed into a standard 4x2 (100mm x 50mm) electrical wall box for maximum compatibility.
• All-in-One Unit: Supplied as a complete, pre-assembled product including the faceplate, isolator mechanism, and mounting frame for efficient installation.
• Ultra-Slim 8.5mm Profile: The sleek, low-profile design ensures the isolator matches the look of other Trinity switches and sockets for a cohesive aesthetic.
• Robust Polycarbonate Housing: Manufactured from tough, UV-stabilised polycarbonate to resist impacts, scratches, and fading.
• SANS Compliant: Designed and manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of South African wiring regulations (SANS 10142-1) for isolators.

Benefits

• Uncompromised Electrical Safety: Provides the highest level of local isolation, protecting homeowners and technicians from electric shock when servicing or repairing a connected appliance.
• Ensures Regulatory Compliance: Installing a correctly rated 2-pole isolator is a mandatory requirement of SANS 10142-1 for all fixed appliances, ensuring your installation is legal and safe.
• Superior Aesthetics: Finally, a safety isolator that doesn't compromise on style. Its elegant design allows it to be installed in kitchens and bathrooms without looking out of place.
• Simplified Installation: The complete, integrated design is faster and easier for an electrician to install compared to sourcing separate components.
• Long-Term Durability: The high-quality polycarbonate construction is built to last, resisting cracking and discolouration to keep your installation looking pristine for years.
• Creates a Cohesive Interior: Allows you to maintain the consistent, modern design language of the Trinity range even for safety-critical devices.

Ideal Use

A 2-pole isolator is a mandatory safety device for any fixed electrical appliance that does not plug into a standard socket outlet.

• Geysers & Water Heaters: The most common application, providing a local means of disconnection for safety and maintenance.
• Stoves, Ovens & Hobs: Essential for safely isolating cooking appliances in the kitchen.
• Air Conditioning Units: Required for both split-unit and central air conditioning systems.
• Large Pool & Jacuzzi Pumps: Provides a safe and convenient way to disconnect pumps and heating equipment for servicing.
• Any Fixed Appliance: As per SANS 10142-1 regulations, any fixed appliance with a high power rating must be controlled by a local, lockable isolator.

Tips

• Select the Correct Amperage: This is critical. The isolator's rating must be suitable for the appliance it protects. Check the appliance's power rating (in Watts) and divide by the voltage (230V) to find the current (in Amps). Always choose an isolator with a rating equal to or greater than the calculated current. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
• This is a Mandatory Safety Device: For appliances like geysers and stoves, installing a 2-pole isolator is not optional; it is a legal requirement for a compliant and safe electrical installation.
• Wiring: A 2-pole isolator has four terminals: Live IN, Live OUT, Neutral IN, and Neutral OUT. Ensure the incoming supply and the cable to the appliance are connected to the correct terminals.
• Not a Circuit Breaker: An isolator's purpose is to provide a point of local disconnection. It does NOT provide overcurrent or earth fault protection. That is the function of the circuit breaker in your main distribution board.
• Installation by a Professional: Due to the high currents involved and the critical safety function of this device, installation must be carried out by a qualified and certified electrician.
