Schneider EZ7SW-3P100A is an isolating switch with 3 poles and a rated current of 100A. It belongs to Schneider’s Easy 7 series of low-voltage terminal power distribution products and is mainly used in industrial and commercial power distribution systems.
Funciones principales:
Circuit Isolation: Provides obvious electrical isolation during maintenance or overhaul to ensure personnel safety.
On/off Operation with Load: Can connect and disconnect load circuits below the rated current (it does not have overload and short-circuit protection functions).
Power Switching: Used for connection control between the power supply side and the load side.

Escenarios de aplicación
- Industrial Power Distribution Systems
– Main power switch for equipment, facilitating safe isolation during maintenance and overhaul.
– Isolation protection for motor control circuits.
- Distribución de energía para edificios comerciales
– Main switch for floor distribution boxes.
– Group control for lighting systems.
- Distribución de energía residencial
– Main incoming switch for villas or multi-storey residences.
– Dedicated isolation for large electrical appliances (such as air conditioners and water heaters).
- Temporary Power Supply Scenarios
– Power control for construction site distribution boxes and mobile equipment.
Differences from Circuit Breakers
Key Differences Between EZ7SW (Isolating Switch) and EZ7 Circuit Breaker:
| Característica | EZ7SW Isolating Switch | EZ7 Circuit Breaker (p.ej., EZ7-100A) |
| Función de protección | No overload/short-circuit protection | With dual protection against overload and short-circuit |
| Arc Extinguishing Capacity | Limited, suitable for normal load operation | Strong, capable of breaking short-circuit current (6el) |
| Application Position | Power supply side, used for isolation | Load side, used for protection and control |
| Frecuencia de operación | Low (1,700 mechanical life cycles) | Alto (10,000 mechanical life cycles) |
Sugerencia de selección: They are usually used in conjunction. The circuit breaker is responsible for protection, and the isolating switch is responsible for isolation to ensure maintenance safety.
Installation and Usage Guidelines
- Requisitos de instalación:
– Install vertically (inclination ≤ 5°), with the operating handle in the upward position for closing.
– Install using standard DIN rails for easy replacement and expansion.
– Ensure the installation location has good ventilation, with an ambient temperature of -5℃ ~ +55℃.
- Especificaciones de cableado:
– Connect the power supply to the static contacts (upper end) and the load to the moving contacts (lower end).
– Tighten with a torque of 3.5Nm (using M7 screws) to ensure good contact.
– The cross-sectional area of the wire should be ≤ 150mm² to ensure a secure connection.
- Precauciones de uso:
Breaking with fault is strictly prohibited: Operate only when the load is working normally.
– Antes del mantenimiento, the circuit breaker must be disconnected first, then the isolating switch.
– Ensure hands are dry during operation to avoid electric shock risks.
Resumen
Schneider EZ7SW-3P100A is a reliable industrial-grade isolating switch, specifically designed for 380V three-phase power distribution systems, providing safe isolation and load-carrying operation functions. Although it does not have protection functions, it serves as the “last line of defense” for electrical safety and is crucial in maintenance and overhaul processes.
Purchase Tip: If complete protection functions are required, it is recommended to use it with Schneider’s EZ7 series circuit breakers (p.ej., EZ7-100A) to build a complete power distribution solution of “isolation + protección”
