Power Isolation The KSD is a key driven non fused switch disconnector for the isolation or switching of currents. The standard KSD comes with 4 or 6 poles plus 2 auxiliary early break contacts. The KSD is manufactured from either brass or stainless steel. The unit is supplied suitable for mounting into an existing panel or for surface mounting within its own IP65 rated lockable mild steel enclosure. OPERATION The Castell KSD Switch Disconnector is typically used for machine isolation applications in order to protect the hazardous area from access while power is on. USAGE The KSD Switch Disconnector is designed to be part of a safety system and is used to isolate power. The KSD Switch Disconnector is not designed for security purposes. No hazardous substances were used in the manufacture of this product. APPLICATION The KSD safety component is designed to operate as part of an integrated safety system, controlling access to hazardous areas. Typical machinery using the KSD range are motor driven, high risk applications where complete isolation of the power supply is required before access is granted. The removal of the key in the KSD changes the condition of the electrical supply to the machine to a safe condition. This key can be removed and used to unlock the door via AIE access interlock. The guard can only be opened when the electrical supply has been switched into a safe condition. The machine cannot be restarted until the door is closed and the key is removed and taken to the KSD.
