Explosion Proof Trapped Key Control Isolation Switch (SS-ISB-CB-EX)
from $2,175.82
The SS-ISB-CB-EX Isolator Switch forms the first stage of a Trapped Key
Interlocking System and installs externally in hazardous locations where
explosive gas or dust may be present. Turning the key rotates the internal
cam mechanism, opens the safety contact block, and isolates the control
circuit. Once the circuit fully de-energises, the operator can withdraw the
key and transfer it to the next device in the Trapped Key sequence. During
normal operation, the isolator key stays trapped inside the SS-ISB-CB-EX to
keep the equipment energised. When the key remains trapped, the safety
contacts close and supply power. When the operator turns and removes the
key, the safety contacts open and remove power. The operator can then
insert the key into the next interlock device, such as a Key Exchange Unit
or a single-point interlock like a Handle Interlock. The mechanism blocks
any attempt to re-energise the equipment until the operator returns and
reinserts the isolator key. The internal contact block (LS-EX) carries full
approval for Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22 and complies with IECEx/ATEX
requirements. We manufacture the device in the UK using a 316 stainless
steel housing and barrel assembly to maximise corrosion resistance, impact
strength, and durability in demanding environments. The design also
achieves IP69K ingress protection for high-pressure, high-temperature
washdown applications. Body Material: 316 Grade Stainless Steel Ingress
Protection: IP69K Contacts: 2-Pole or 4-Pole Ex Rated Contact Blocks Zones:
1, 21, 2, 22 Ex Marking: Exd IIC T6 (-20 <= Ta <= +60C) Gb / Ex tb IIIC T85C
