What is the difference between general duty and heavy duty disconnects?

For instance a general duty motor disconnect has to be rated at least 115% of the FLA. Heavy duty is either 250 volts or 600 volt rated while general duty is only 250 volts.

What size disconnect switch do I need?

A properly sized disconnect switch for a single motor will: Have an ampere rating greater than or equal to 115 percent of the rated motor full load current; or, Have a HP rating greater than or equal to the rated motor HP (at applied voltage) if the disconnect switch under consideration is HP rated.

What is electrical disconnect switch?

In electrical engineering, a disconnector, disconnect switch or isolator switch is used to ensure that an electrical circuit is completely de-energized for service or maintenance. The disconnector is usually not intended for normal control of the circuit, but only for safety isolation.

What is a electrical disconnect?

Electrical disconnects are switches that isolate all wiring in a home or other building from the source of power, typically the utility power service. This disconnect may be a special breaker switch housed in an exterior box enclosure, or it may simply be the main circuit breaker on the home’s main service panel.
