Trinity 3 Pole Isolator 4X2

• Provides an essential, legally required safety device for the local isolation of three-phase fixed appliances.
• Engineered as a triple pole switch, designed to simultaneously disconnect three conductors for absolute safety during maintenance.
• Masterfully combines SANS-compliant electrical safety for three-phase systems with the sophisticated, modern aesthetic of the Trinity range.
• Delivered as a complete, ready-to-install 4x2 unit, providing a stylish alternative to bulky, industrial isolators.
• 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 robust and long-lasting installation for specialized equipment.

Features

• Triple Pole Switching: The core safety feature for three-phase applications. The mechanism simultaneously disconnects all three incoming poles (e.g., L1, L2, L3), 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 three-phase 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, offering a compact solution for three-phase control.
• All-in-One Unit: Supplied as a complete, pre-assembled product including the faceplate, 3-pole 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 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 Safety for 3-Phase Systems: Provides the highest level of local isolation for three-phase equipment, protecting technicians from electric shock when servicing the appliance.
• Ensures Regulatory Compliance: Installing a correctly rated isolator is a mandatory requirement of SANS 10142-1 for fixed appliances. This 3-pole version ensures compliance for three-phase installations.
• Superior Aesthetics: An elegant safety isolator that doesn't compromise on style. Its modern design allows it to be installed in visible areas without looking industrial or out of place.
• Simplified Installation: The complete, integrated design is faster and easier for an electrician to install compared to sourcing separate industrial components.
• Long-Term Durability: The high-quality polycarbonate construction is built to last, ensuring the isolator remains a reliable and visually appealing safety feature for years.
• Creates a Cohesive Interior: Allows you to maintain the consistent, modern design language of the Trinity range, even for specialized, heavy-duty safety devices.

In-Depth Technical Specifications

Product Specifications

Ideal Use

A 3-pole isolator is a mandatory safety device for any fixed three-phase electrical appliance. It is NOT intended for standard single-phase appliances.

• Three-Phase Air Conditioning Units: Essential for safely isolating the condensing units of larger residential or commercial HVAC systems.
• Three-Phase Heat Pumps: Provides the required local means of disconnection for three-phase heat pump systems.
• Three-Phase Pool Pumps: A common application for larger swimming pools or water features that utilize more powerful three-phase motors.
• Light Industrial & Workshop Motors: Ideal for safely isolating three-phase motors for lathes, compressors, and other machinery in a workshop.
• Specific Commercial Kitchen Equipment: Some heavy-duty commercial ovens, mixers, or other appliances may run on a three-phase supply and require a 3-pole isolator.

Tips

• Confirm Your Power Supply: This is a specialized product for three-phase electrical systems. Standard homes in South Africa use a single-phase supply. This isolator is only suitable for properties or applications with a dedicated three-phase supply. If you are unsure, you MUST consult a qualified electrician.
• 2-Pole vs. 3-Pole: For standard single-phase geysers, stoves, and ovens, you must use a Trinity 2 Pole Isolator. Using this 3-pole isolator on a single-phase appliance is incorrect and will not provide the intended safety.
• Select the Correct Amperage: The isolator's rating (30A or 45A) must be suitable for the appliance it protects. An electrician must perform a load calculation to determine the correct rating based on the appliance's power consumption.
• Not a Circuit Breaker: An isolator provides a point of local disconnection for maintenance. It does NOT provide overcurrent or earth fault protection. That is the function of the three-phase circuit breaker in your distribution board.
• Professional Installation is Mandatory: Due to the complexity of three-phase wiring and the critical safety function of this device, it must be installed by a qualified and certified electrician experienced with three-phase systems.
