• Safe isolation under load: Provides dependable disconnection even when circuits are carrying current, reducing the risk during maintenance and servicing.
• Lockout/Tagout readiness: Built to integrate with standard lockout devices and tagging practices, making compliance with safety protocols straightforward and efficient.
• Rugged, long-term durability: Engineered for industrial and commercial use, with a robust design that stands up to the rigors of demanding environments and frequent cycling.
• Easy integration: Designed for straightforward installation into existing control panels and switchgear, helping you modernize safety without a complicated rebuild.
• Reliable uptime: By delivering consistent, secure disconnection under load, it minimizes unexpected power interruptions during maintenance windows.

Who benefits most

• Plant engineers and facilities managers responsible for safe power isolation and regulatory compliance
• Maintenance teams performing routine servicing on heavy equipment and high-load circuits
• Electrical contractors upgrading control panels in industrial or commercial facilities

Use cases and scenarios

The Westinghouse Disconnect Switch shines in situations where safe de-energization is critical:

• Powering down sections of a production line for preventive maintenance without impacting adjacent equipment
• Isolating feeders in distribution panels during testing, calibration, or fault isolation
• Implementing lockout/tagout protocols for servicing ceiling hoists, HVAC systems, pumps, and other high-current loads
• Providing a reliable shutdown point in multi-piece control systems where manual isolation is required for worker safety

Compared to ad-hoc disconnection methods, this switch offers a purpose-driven, code-aligned approach to isolation. It prioritizes safety, reduces the chance of accidental re-energization, and supports consistent, repeatable maintenance workflows—so your teams can focus on the task at hand rather than wrestling with safety gaps.

Elevate your safety and reliability with the Westinghouse Disconnect Switch. It’s the tested, durable choice for facilities that demand precise, trustworthy electrical isolation—and it’s ready to integrate into your current power distribution strategy today.
