Trinity 3 Pole Isolator 4X4

• Provides the highest standard of local electrical isolation for heavy-duty, three-phase fixed appliances.
• Functions as an essential and legally required safety device, featuring a triple pole mechanism that simultaneously disconnects all three live conductors.
• Perfectly integrates mandatory SANS-compliant safety for three-phase systems with the sophisticated, ultra-slim aesthetic of the Trinity range.
• Delivered as a complete, ready-to-install 4x4 unit, providing a stylish and modern alternative to conventional industrial isolators.
• Features a distinctive red switch lever for clear, immediate identification of the isolated state, enhancing operational safety.
• Constructed from premium, impact-resistant polycarbonate to ensure exceptional durability in demanding environments like kitchens and plant rooms.

Features

• Triple Pole Safety Mechanism: The core safety feature for three-phase equipment. It ensures a complete and verifiable disconnection of all three phases (L1, L2, L3) from the appliance.
• Heavy-Duty Current Ratings: Available in 45 Amp and 60 Amp versions to safely manage the significant electrical loads of large residential and commercial three-phase appliances.
• Standard 4x4 Footprint: Designed to be installed into a standard 4x4 (100mm x 100mm) electrical wall box.
• Clear ON/OFF Status: The prominent red switch lever is clearly marked with "ON" and "OFF" for unambiguous indication of the circuit's state.
• All-in-One Integrated Unit: Supplied as a complete, pre-assembled product including the 4x4 faceplate, high-current 3-pole mechanism, and robust mounting frame.
• Ultra-Slim 8.5mm Profile: The sleek, low-profile design allows this heavy-duty safety device to match the aesthetic of standard Trinity light switches.
• Robust Polycarbonate Housing: The entire unit is manufactured from tough, UV-stabilised polycarbonate to resist physical impacts and prevent colour degradation.
• SANS Compliant: Engineered and manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of South African wiring regulations (SANS 10142-1) for safety isolators.

Benefits

• Absolute Safety for 3-Phase Equipment: Provides the ultimate protection for technicians, maintenance staff, and property owners by creating a complete air gap in the three-phase supply during servicing.
• Ensures Full Legal & Regulatory Compliance: Installing a correctly rated 3-pole isolator is a mandatory requirement of SANS 10142-1 for all three-phase fixed appliances, ensuring your installation is safe, legal, and insurable.
• Maintains a High-End Aesthetic: Allows you to meet critical safety regulations without sacrificing style. Its elegant design integrates seamlessly into modern kitchens and commercial spaces.
• Simplified Installation: The complete, all-in-one design is faster and easier for a qualified electrician to install compared to sourcing and fitting separate industrial components.
• Exceptional Durability: The high-quality materials are built to last, resisting cracking and discolouration and ensuring the isolator remains a reliable safety feature for years.
• Creates a Cohesive Design Language: Guarantees a consistent, modern look across your entire installation by matching the design of the standard Trinity switches and sockets.

In-Depth Technical Specifications

This heavy-duty isolator is a critical safety component for any installation with high-current, three-phase appliances. Below are its detailed technical specifications.

Product Specifications

Ideal Use

A 3-pole isolator is a mandatory safety device for any fixed three-phase electrical appliance. It is a specialized product for specific power systems.

• Heavy-Duty Stoves & Ovens: The primary application for 45A and 60A 3-pole isolators in high-end residential or commercial kitchens with three-phase cooking equipment.
• Large HVAC Systems: Essential for safely isolating powerful three-phase air conditioning or heating units.
• Three-Phase Motors: Provides local isolation for motors used in workshops, for pool pumps, or in light industrial applications.
• Commercial Kitchen Equipment: Suitable for a range of three-phase appliances like large mixers, fryers, and grills.
• Three-Phase Geysers: For large-capacity or industrial water heating systems that operate on a three-phase supply.

Tips

• FOR THREE-PHASE SYSTEMS ONLY: This is a critical point. This isolator is specifically designed for properties with a three-phase electrical supply. It is not suitable for and must not be used on standard single-phase systems found in most homes.
• 2-Pole vs. 3-Pole Distinction: For standard single-phase appliances (like most residential stoves and geysers), you must use a Trinity 2 Pole Isolator. Using a 3-pole isolator on a single-phase appliance is incorrect, non-compliant, and unsafe.
• Professional Sizing is Crucial: The choice between a 45A and 60A rating is not arbitrary. A qualified electrician must calculate the full load current of the appliance to select the correctly rated isolator and associated circuit breaker.
• Requires a 4x4 Wall Box: This isolator is designed for a square 4x4 (100x100mm) wall box and will not fit in a smaller 4x2 box.
• Mandatory Professional Installation: Due to the high energy levels, complexity of three-phase wiring, and the critical safety function of this device, it must be installed by a qualified and certified electrician with experience in three-phase systems.
