People Electric · Isolating Switch
Product overview
Original People Electric RDX6SD-100 isolating switches provide isolation and making/breaking functions in AC distribution circuits. The manufacturer catalogue lists 32, 63 and 100A ratings, one to four poles, AC 230/400V at 50/60Hz and AC-22A utilization category. These switches require coordinated circuit protection.

This is an isolating switch, not an overload or short-circuit protective circuit breaker. The limited short-circuit current is a conditional rating and must not be treated as a circuit-breaker breaking capacity. The catalogue selection table lists 32, 63 and 100A; original series photographs may show another current and do not expand the selectable range. Confirm the supplied nameplate and protective-device coordination with the quotation.
Typical applications
- Isolation in AC distribution installations.
- AC-22A switching duties with appropriately coordinated upstream protection.
