• Constructed from premium, impact-resistant polycarbonate for exceptional durability and a long-lasting, high-quality finish.

Features

• Double Pole Safety Mechanism: The core safety feature, ensuring the appliance is completely and safely disconnected from the power supply by switching both Live and Neutral paths.
• High Current Ratings: Available in 45 Amp and 60 Amp versions to safely manage the significant electrical loads of large household and commercial 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 status.
• All-in-One Integrated Unit: Supplied as a complete, pre-assembled product including the 4x4 faceplate, high-current isolator mechanism, and mounting frame for efficient installation.
• Ultra-Slim 8.5mm Profile: The sleek, low-profile design ensures the isolator perfectly matches the aesthetic of other Trinity switches and sockets.
• Robust Polycarbonate Housing: The entire unit is manufactured from tough, UV-stabilised polycarbonate to resist impacts and prevent colour fading.
• SANS Compliant: Designed and manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of South African wiring regulations (SANS 10142-1) for safety isolators.

Benefits

• Uncompromised Electrical Safety: Provides the ultimate protection for technicians and homeowners during appliance maintenance by creating a verifiable air gap in the circuit.
• Ensures Full Legal Compliance: Installing a correctly rated 2-pole isolator is a mandatory requirement of SANS 10142-1 for all high-power fixed appliances. This product ensures your installation is safe and legal.
• Maintains a High-End Aesthetic: Allows you to meet safety regulations without sacrificing style. Its elegant design integrates perfectly into modern kitchens, sculleries, and plant rooms.
• Simplified Installation Process: The all-in-one design is faster and easier for an electrician to install than sourcing and assembling separate 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 Interior Design: Guarantees a consistent, modern look by matching the design language of the entire Trinity range, even for heavy-duty safety devices.

Ideal Use

A 2-pole isolator is a mandatory safety device for any high-current fixed electrical appliance. The 4x4 format is typically used for the most powerful residential and light commercial equipment.

• Large Stoves & Ovens: The primary application for 45A and 60A isolators, providing safe disconnection for high-power cooking appliances.
• Commercial Kitchen Equipment: Suitable for fryers, grills, and other heavy-duty equipment in a commercial setting.
• Instantaneous Water Heaters: High-power, tankless geysers often require a 60A isolator.
• Large HVAC Systems: Provides local isolation for powerful air conditioning or heating units.
• Sub-Distribution Boards: Can be used as a local isolator for a small sub-DB in a workshop, garage, or outbuilding.

Tips

• Select the Correct Amperage: This is the most critical step. The isolator's rating MUST be correctly matched to the appliance's load and the circuit breaker protecting it. A 45A isolator is common for standard stoves, while 60A is for larger or more powerful units. Always consult a qualified electrician to determine the correct rating.
• Requires a 4x4 Wall Box: This isolator is designed for a square 4x4 (100x100mm) wall box. It will not fit in a standard 4x2 box.
• Mandatory Safety Device: For high-power fixed appliances, installing a 2-pole isolator is a non-negotiable legal requirement for a Certificate of Electrical Compliance (CoC) in South Africa.
• Not a Circuit Breaker: An isolator provides a point of local disconnection for safety during maintenance. It does NOT protect against overcurrent or short circuits; that is the role of the circuit breaker in the distribution board.
• Professional Installation is Essential: Due to the very high currents involved and the critical safety function of this device, it must be installed by a qualified and certified electrician.
