3. PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to the field of switch disconnectors. More particularly the present invention relates to an improved switch disconnector having duel termination facility. It may be used in installations such as Housing complex, Hotels, Hospitals and buildings etc.
BACKGROUND AND THE PRIOR ART
Disconnectors are widely used in electrical distribution and related applications for isolating the electrical apparatus like circuit breakers and transformers etc. the main disadvantage associated with the conventional disconnector is more space requirement for installing in panel and the cost goes higher due to extra material. Further, Duel termination facility and contact indication is not available. Additionally, there is difficulty for wiring and cabling in panel due to less space available.
Some of the prior arts associated with present invention are as follows:
WO2011147717 provides a switch disconnector having a main contact system comprising a switch disconnector stationary contact and a switch disconnector moving contact in order to form an isolating gap in a disconnected position and having a vacuum switching tube for arc quenching, whose design is simplified and compact, it is proposed that the vacuum switching tube be arranged in a fixed position, with a cam disk for movement of a moving contact connecting bolt of the vacuum switching tube being provided, which cam disk is mechanically coupled to the switch disconnector moving contact
KR20020018958 provides a disconnector which has high dielectric strength, and nevertheless is simple and compact, and can be produced cost-effectively. A disconnector comprises at least two isolating contacts, at least one isolating contact finger which is arranged such that it can be moved along an axis between the isolating contacts and which, when the disconnector is open, is arranged in the interior of one of the isolating contacts, a pressurized, electrically conductive encapsulation, and an insulation coating which is applied to part of the inside of the encapsulation. The insulation coating is applied without any gaps to the inside of the

encapsulation, at least in the region between the isolating contacts. At least one projection is provided on the insulation coating.
JP1235106 aims to make a large-current switch small-sized by fitting ring-shaped metals to axis portions of a blade respectively and connecting these metals with a flexible conductor group. The ring-shaped first metal is integrally fitted on the lower face of a conductor, the ring-shaped second metal facing it is integrally fitted to the upper face of a blade. A cylindrical conductor group expanded to the outside by weaving many flexible conductors cylindrically arranged to surround an axis into a net shape is provided. When the blade is rotated, a conductor group cylindrically arranged with many flexible conductors is twisted around the axis, and a current can be fed between the conductors on the fixed side and the blade. The defective contact or the like of a switch or a disconnector is prevented, the reliability is improved, the whole size for the large-current use can be made compact.
In view of the disadvantages associated with the conventional disconnectors and the cited prior arts there is a need of compact product which is user friendly. The present invention therefore provides an Electrical switch disconnector with compact design and cost effectiveness.
Present invention is adapted to accelerate up to 125A in one module. The size will be accommodated in less space hence compact in overall size and less in cost. Connection of wires and cables will be easier in the panels due to extra space available. It offers duel termination facility. Additionally it provides for contact indication. Present invention provides for an enhanced short time withstand performance that saves from breakdown, failure due to high spike of current and burning of internal/external parts.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
A basic object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages/drawbacks of the known art.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved switch disconnector having duel termination facility.

Other object of the present invention is to provide a compact switch disconnector assembly.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide for contact indication.
These and other advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
