Killark Disconnects
Killark Disconnects are heavy duty disconnect switches intended for disconnecting power in hazardous and industrial locations. These disconnects are manufactured by Hubbell Killark and are used to control and disconnect power to motors, lighting and electrical systems where safety and reliability are paramount. They are used to provide a local means of disconnecting service entrance, feeder and branch circuits for maintenance and emergency situations.
Killark disconnect switches are designed for use in hazardous locations where flammable gases, vapors, dust or fibers may be present. Many Killark disconnect switches are explosion proof and dust-ignition proof for Class I, Division 1 and 2 and Class II locations. They are designed to prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres and to provide reliable operation in extreme industrial environments.
Killark disconnects are available in fused and non-fused versions. Fused disconnects are used where over current protection is required while non-fused disconnects are used for switching and isolation where over current protection is not needed. Killark disconnects are available up to 600 volts and are constructed of rugged materials such as copper free aluminum and stainless steel hardware to provide a high level of resistance to corrosion, moisture and environmental contaminants.
