Cut the Power, Not the Corners: Disconnects IN A BOX

In the world of industrial control panels and electrical enclosures, safety is non-negotiable. That’s why engineers increasingly specify disconnect switches—not just as an afterthought, but as a critical design element from the very beginning.

A disconnect switch provides a means to safely cut power during maintenance or emergencies. It helps meet OSHA, NEC, and UL safety standards, while also protecting personnel and equipment. For field technicians and electricians, having a clearly visible and easily accessible disconnect is peace of mind—knowing they can isolate power at the source before opening an enclosure or working on a control circuit.

Now, take that a step further: imagine a pre-engineered enclosure with a disconnect already installed. No custom modifications, no punching holes in metal, no time-consuming mounting or wiring. It arrives ready to go—just install and connect.

Choosing a pre-wired, pre-installed disconnect enclosure offers:

🔧 Time savings in design and assembly
✅ Improved consistency and quality from factory-built solutions
📦 Simplified sourcing with fewer parts to specify
🔒 Streamlined safety compliance

For engineers, it’s one more smart move that reduces risk, saves time, and keeps projects on schedule.

Think Inside The Box—specify disconnects, and consider enclosures that come ready-made. Your team (and your deadlines) will thank you. Check out American Electrical Inc.’s (AEI) assortment of disconnects by calling 804.379.2899 or click on the link below:
