Eaton’s updated ACD features a modern-looking side-hinged door for easier access to the disconnect.
ACDs are located between a load center (distribution panel) and an air conditioner, providing a visible means of disconnect when performing maintenance. They are commonly referred to as disconnects, pullouts or air conditioning switches. Eaton’s non-metallic air conditioning disconnects is ULT Listed and made from polyphenylene ether (PPE) plastic, which has been field tested for decades and is the same material used in Eaton group metering stacks. PPE plastic is corrosion, ultraviolet and impact resistant.
