537.1 General
537.1.1 Any device for isolation and switching according to Clauses 462 to 465 of
HD 60364-4-46:2016 shall comply with the relevant requirements included in this clause.
In certain instances, additional requirements may be necessary for combined functions.
NOTE 1 Table A.1 summarizes the functions provided by the devices for isolation and switching, together with
indication of the relevant product standards.
NOTE 2 For some applications such as motor control, the switching device needs to withstand the inrush
current.
537.1.2 Where an installation or an item of equipment or enclosure contains live parts connected to
more than one supply, a durable warning notice shall be placed in such a position that any person
before gaining access to live parts, will be warned of the need to isolate those parts from the various
supplies unless an interlocking arrangement is provided to ensure that all the circuits concerned are
isolated.
537.1.3 Plugs and socket-outlets, connectors and devices for connection of luminaires may be used
for providing the isolation and switching functions in accordance with Annex A.
The isolation and switching functions are provided by the disconnection of the plug from the outlet or
connector from the inlet as applicable.
537.2 Devices for isolation
537.2.1 Devices for isolation shall be devices for which the isolation function is explicitly recognized
by the relevant product standard.
The devices providing isolation function shall be selected in accordance with Annex A.
537.2.2 Semiconductor devices shall not be used as isolating devices.
537.2.3 Devices suitable for isolation shall be selected according to the requirements that are based
on the overvoltage categories applicable at their point of installation.
Devices for isolation shall be designed for over voltage category III or IV except the plug of a plug and
socket-outlet combination identified in Table A.1 as suitable for isolation.
NOTE Examples of overvoltage categories for devices are given in HD 60364–4-443.
Devices used for isolation shall comply with 537.2.4 to 537.2.8.
537.2.4 Devices for isolation shall
