Is UKP a waterproof isolator switch or only an empty box?
UKP is supplied as an enclosed isolator switch assembly, not only an empty box. The normal configuration includes the enclosure, rotary handle, front plate, and internal switch mechanism selected by rating, pole count, and application duty.
Which current ratings are available?
The UKP family covers 16A to 125A configurations across UKP0, UKP1, UKP3, and UKP5 box sizes. Confirm the actual load, upstream protection, cable size, and installation space before choosing the enclosure group.
Can UKP be used outdoors?
Yes, UKP is intended for outdoor and wet-area local isolation points when the enclosure, cable glands, and installation method are matched correctly. Confirm IP65 marking, cable entry direction, UV exposure, and washdown conditions for each project.
Can the pole count be customized?
Common configurations include 3P and 4P. The quotation should specify pole count, current rating, handle type, box size, and whether neutral switching or a special terminal arrangement is required.
What do L0, L1, L3, and L5 mean?
They are UKP waterproof box size codes used in the catalogue model structure. L0 is used with compact UKP0 builds, while L1, L3, and L5 map to larger UKP enclosure groups with different footprint and wiring space.
Is UKP mainly for ON/OFF isolation?
Yes. UKP is normally selected for visible local isolation and maintenance disconnect functions. For selector, transfer, reversing, meter selection, or multi-step control logic, use an enclosed LW28 waterproof cam switch box instead.
Can the cable entry and enclosure size be matched to a project?
Yes. Provide cable direction, gland size, wall mounting position, rated current, pole count, quantity, and destination market so Shieldhz can match the enclosure and switch configuration and prepare the correct drawing or datasheet package.
