        National Light Sources | Three Pole 63Amp Isolating Switch | IP56 Weather Protected

        The NLS 30258 is a three-pole 63-amp isolating switch rated 415V, designed for air conditioners and industrial isolation duties. The 30258 features a weatherproof polycarbonate enclosure with IP56 protection and complies with IEC/EN60947-3 and AS/NZS60947-3 standards.

        Air conditioning installers and electricians working on machinery with high amperage loads often face the challenge of safe isolation. Padlocked isolators are mandated under electrical work regulations when maintenance or emergency shutdown is required. The NLS 30258 addresses this by providing padlock-capable both on and off positions and large terminals rated 6–8mm cable, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications on three-phase 415V circuits. The silica gel seal between lid and base keeps moisture and dust out in exposed outdoor environments.

        Licensed electricians and HVAC contractors value the 30258 for straightforward sizing: twin 25mm screwed entries on top and bottom mounting blocks mean quick installation on existing conduit runs, with supplied 25–20mm reducers for smaller 20mm conduit if needed. The neutral link and earth link are housed internally, saving on external termination hardware and simplifying fault-finding. No creative wiring is needed — the 30258 handles isolation duties on AC compressors, heat pump switchgear, and heavy machinery without voltage drop or performance lag.

        Features

        • Three-pole 63A isolating switch — rated 415V three-phase, suitable for air conditioning compressors and industrial machinery isolation.
        • IP56 weatherproof rating — blocks water and dust ingress in outdoor and exposed installations, protecting contacts and internal components.
        • Polycarbonate enclosure — high-impact plastic body combines insulation properties with strength, durability and lightweight handling on the job.
        • Silica gel basket seal — positioned between lid and base to provide environmental protection in humid or salt-laden locations.
        • Padlock-capable both on and off — facility for padlocking in both positions enables conformity to electrical work safety regulations and machinery isolation lockout procedures.
        • Large terminals for 6–8mm cable — oversized terminal blocks accommodate thick cable runs without crushing or voltage drop, typical for high-amperage applications.
        • Twin 25mm screwed entries, top and bottom — two mounting block entry points (top and bottom) accept 25mm conduit, with flexibility to use smaller conduit via supplied reducers.
        • Supplied 25–20mm reducers — two adapter rings included to step down conduit entry from 25mm to 20mm if the installation calls for smaller conduit.
        • Internal neutral link and earth link — fixed links located inside the enclosure simplify three-phase installation and fault diagnosis.
        • Complies with IEC/EN60947-3 and AS/NZS60947-3 — certified to international and Australian standards for general-purpose isolating switches in industrial use.
        • Compact 84 × 84 × 174mm body — small footprint fits tight installation spaces without requiring large mounting blocks or extended conduit runs.
        • Not rated for breaking under load — the 30258 is an isolator only and must never be used to switch live machinery. Switch off via MCB or circuit breaker before operating the isolator.

        Where to use

        • Air conditioning compressor isolation — the NLS 30258 provides safe three-phase switchable isolation for split system and rooftop AC units, meeting installation and maintenance lockout requirements.
        • Heat pump and heating system switchgear — ideal for isolating high-amperage heating and heat recovery equipment on three-phase supply.
        • Machinery isolation and emergency stop — the 30258 isolates industrial motor loads, pumps, fans, and rotating equipment for safe repair and maintenance.
        • Outdoor electrical installations — IP56 protection makes the switch suitable for weatherproof cabinets, pole-mounted enclosures, and exposed outdoor switchboard applications.
        • Renewable energy and solar installations — three-phase inverter and battery isolation on medium-voltage DC or AC systems in remote or corrosive environments.
        • Temporary site power and diesel generator isolation — the 30258 handles main switch duties on temporary power distribution and standby generator cabinets.

        The NLS 30258 is not suitable for frequent load switching and must not be used to make or break electrical current under normal load. Use only as an isolating switch downstream of a main breaker or motor starter. Never operate the 30258 to cut off equipment under load, as the contacts may arc and degrade. The 63A rating applies to three-phase 415V only; do not use on single-phase or 240V supplies.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: NLS 30258 Three Pole 63Amp Isolating Switch (30258)

        "These isolating switches make great on /off units for machinery." — Rodney

        (30258)

        Yes, the 30258 carries IP56 weatherproof rating, which blocks water and dust ingress. The silica gel seal between the lid and base provides environmental protection for outdoor switchboards, rooftop AC units, and exposed mounting locations.

        The 30258 is an isolating switch only and must never be used to break or make current under load. Always switch off via the main breaker or motor starter before operating the isolator. Using the 30258 under load will damage the contacts and create an arc hazard.

        The large terminals on the NLS 30258 accept 6–8mm cable. No cable stripping or terminal preparation is required beyond standard termination practice.

        Yes, the 30258 features facility for padlock attachment in both on and off positions. This enables conformity to electrical work lockout regulations and machinery maintenance safety procedures.

        The NLS 30258 is rated 415V three-phase (three-pole) and is designed for industrial and commercial three-phase installations. Do not use the 30258 on single-phase 240V supplies.

        Two 25–20mm reducers are supplied with the 30258. These adapters step the top and bottom 25mm screwed entries down to 20mm conduit, so you can fit the switch directly into existing 20mm conduit runs without removing the switch or modifying the installation.

        Higher amperage switch gear suitable for lower vol on 22 January 2022

        These isolating switches make great on /off units for machinery that runs on banks of 250 watt grid connect wired in parallel for specialised machines that are designed and manufactured to run on 36 volt systems as they are of good quality and excellent finish and never used to make or break under load with the exception of air compressors and the 2 pole or 3 pole are able to switch both positive and negative leads they handle the DC current well with no voltage drop or overheating under load and there not Chinese.
