Disconnect terminal blocks allow for the convenient disconnection of electrical circuits within a control panel or system without physically removing the wiring. These terminal blocks often feature a built-in disconnect lever, switch, or removable component that separates the circuit.

Key Features:
- Circuit Isolation: They allow users to isolate sections of a circuit for maintenance or troubleshooting.
- Testing Points: Many disconnect terminal blocks include integrated test points for measuring voltage or current without additional tools.
- Compact Design: These blocks save space in control panels by integrating disconnection functionality into a single module.
- Ease of Use: Disconnecting the circuit is as simple as flipping a lever or removing a bridge.
Applications:
- Used in control panels for isolating circuits.
- Useful in systems that require frequent testing or maintenance.
- Ideal for current transformers (CTs) and other applications requiring temporary circuit disconnection.
