An air conditioning disconnect (ACD) is a disconnect located between a loadcenter (distribution panel) and air conditioner. EATON ACD product line provides an installer or repair personnel with a visible disconnecting means when performing maintenance. ACDs are also known as disconnects, pullouts or air conditioning switches. Non-fused pullout and molded case switch devices provide personnel with a visible on/off disconnecting means. While fused pullout units also perform this function, they also provide an additional level of protection for the air conditioner. Fused and non-fused devices are of a pullout design, where the user physically removes or "pulls out" a tab to break the electrical connection. A molded case switch is similar to a light switch where the user "switches" the unit to the indicated ON/off position.
