108985-02 - Disconnect Switch

The 108985-02 Disconnect Switch is engineered for environments where safe, reliable electrical isolation is non-negotiable. Designed for industrial and commercial settings, it delivers dependable disconnection under load while seamlessly supporting lockout/tagout procedures toprotect personnel and equipment during maintenance and service.

Why this disconnect switch stands out

• Lockout/tagout readiness: Built to integrate smoothly with safety programs, helping crews lock out devices and clearly tag circuits during work shifts and troubleshooting.
• Reliable under load: Delivers a clean, confirmable disconnection even when equipment is energized, reducing downtime and minimizing voltage risk during servicing.
• Long-term durability: Constructed to endure the demands of busy facilities, with a design focused on lasting performance and reduced maintenance cycles.
• Industrial-grade applicability: Specifically suited for the demanding environments of manufacturing floors, commercial electrical rooms, and service bays where robust isolation is essential.

Ideal use cases

• Maintenance and troubleshooting on feeders, switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), and other power-distribution equipment.
• Facilities that require formal lockout/tagout procedures to ensure personnel safety during electrical work.
• Periodic preventive maintenance programs in factories, warehouses, data centers, and utility rooms where reliable isolation is critical.

How the 108985-02 improves safety and uptime

• Safety-first workflow: By aligning with lockout/tagout practices, it provides a clear, verifiable point of isolation before any work begins, enhancing compliance and reducing human risk.
• Operational reliability: Its ability to disconnect under load means technicians can work with confidence, knowing circuits can be safely opened without unexpected re-energization.
• Maintenance efficiency: The durable design minimizes unexpected failures, helping facilities avoid unplanned downtime and extend intervals between replacements.

Practical tips for installation and use

• Plan the lockout/tagout procedure around the disconnect switch location to ensure a clear isolation path for maintenance crews.
• Pair the switch with visible, durable locking devices and tags to maximize compliance and awareness on the shop floor.
• Regularly inspect the mechanical operation and detent feel to confirm smooth engagement and disengagement under typical loads.
• Document circuit status before testing or servicing, and re-verify isolation after any adjustments or re-energization.
