Overview

The ABB LD2C is a 2-pole fluorescent luminaire disconnect designed for safe isolation of fluorescent lighting circuits operating above 150 volts. This disconnect switch provides a reliable method to de-energize luminaires during maintenance, repair, or replacement of lighting components. The 2-pole configuration ensures complete isolation by disconnecting both live and neutral conductors, meeting electrical safety code requirements for de-energizing lighting circuits. Key specifications include a 4-ampere current rating and 600-volt maximum voltage. Integral leads are constructed from No. 18 AWG solid copper wire. The unit features a maximum temperature rating of 105°C, ensuring dependable operation in typical electrical environments. Installation is straightforward: the line-side (female) connects to incoming supply leads (black and white), while the load-side (male) connects to ballast leads. A positive latch mechanism with an audible click confirms secure mating of the two halves. This product is intended for installation by a qualified electrician in accordance with National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code requirements. It is sold only with installation instructions and has a limited number of current interruption operations.

How to Install the Fluorescent Luminaire Disconnect (LD2/LD3 Series)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the LD2 and LD3 series fluorescent luminaire disconnects, including wiring connections and final verification.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

Appropriate rated wiring connectors

  1. Disconnect Power

    Before beginning any installation, disconnect power to the luminaire circuit to prevent risk of electrical shock. This is a critical safety step.

  2. Prepare Luminaire Access

    Remove all lamps and any necessary access covers on the luminaire to gain full access to the ballast and incoming supply wires.

  3. Connect Male Disconnect to Ballast

    Using appropriate rated wiring connectors, attach the line (black) and neutral (white) leads of the male side of the disconnect (marked 'load') to the corresponding ballast leads. For 3-pole disconnects, connect the third colored wire lead to its appropriate ballast lead.

  4. Connect Female Disconnect to Supply

    Using appropriate rated wiring connectors, attach the line (black) and neutral (white) leads of the female side of the disconnect (marked 'line') to the corresponding incoming supply leads. For 3-pole disconnects, connect the third colored wire lead to its appropriate incoming supply lead.

  5. Mate Disconnect Halves

    Before mating, ensure the latching mechanism on the female side is functional by pressing it down and releasing it. Then, align and push the male and female halves together until an audible click confirms a positive latch.

  6. Reinstall Covers and Lamps

    Carefully reinstall any access covers that were removed and replace all lamps in the luminaire.

  7. Test Luminaire Functionality

    Restore power to the circuit. Verify that the luminaire is fully functional and operating as expected.
