A disconnecting switch box (also known as a disconnection switch, isolator switch, or safety switch) is a crucial component in electrical systems used to safely disconnect electrical circuits or equipment from the power supply. These boxes contain disconnect switches that allow operators to isolate electrical equipment for maintenance, repair, or emergency situations, ensuring safety and preventing electrical hazards such as shock, short circuits, or arc flash.

Disconnecting switches are often used in industrial environments, including power plants, manufacturing facilities, and process plants, where high-voltage or high-current electrical systems require isolation for safe operation. They can be found in control panels, distribution boards, and electrical substations.
