Description

The WEC440SP is a compact 4 module meter isolator enclosure combining a 100A double pole main switch with an integral Type 2 surge protection device.

Built around a 3 part seal and secure enclosure, this unit provides manual control of electrical devices while also adding surge protection in one space-saving assembly. The manufacturer data sheet confirms a 2 pole 100A main switch with an integral SPD240, making it a practical option where isolation and surge protection are needed together without taking up space in the main board.

The WEC440SP is suitable for resistive and moderately inductive loads such as switching lighting and heating control boards in homes, shops, offices, warehouses, factories, and hospitals. For a version without built-in surge protection, see our 100A meter isolator.

  • 100A double pole main switch – compact isolation and switching solution
  • Integral Type 2 SPD – SPD240 rated to 40kA max discharge
  • Seal and secure enclosure – 3 part design with anti-tamper sealing features
  • Lockable – switch can be locked through a padlock or suitable lock
  • Compact format – 4 module enclosure, 95mm x 145mm x 82mm
  • Installer-friendly layout – DIN rail device fixing with top and bottom cable entry points

Dimensions: 95mm (W) × 145mm (H) × 82mm (D)

Installation notes

This unit should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current wiring regulations, manufacturer guidance, and the requirements of the installation.

  • Mount the enclosure securely in a suitable indoor location
  • Use the available top or bottom cable entry points as required
  • Ensure all conductors are correctly terminated within the stated terminal capacities
  • Where using the SPD, keep connecting conductors as short as practicable
  • The manufacturer guidance indicates wiring layouts for TN-S and TT systems, with 0.5m preferred and 1m maximum connection length guidance for the SPD arrangement
  • Use the sealing and locking features where safe isolation or tamper resistance is required

The enclosure is rated IP20 and is intended for suitable indoor applications.
