Craig & Derricott Isolators
IECEx & ATEX Certified Isolators for Explosive Atmospheres
Craig & Derricott isolators and control stations are certified by ATEX & IECEx for Zone 1 (21) and Zone 2 (22) hazardous areas – the range of i-switch isolators are suitable for Ex d (flameproof) and Ex e (increased safety) applications and the i-push control stations are certified for Zone 22 potentially explosive dust atmospheres.
Craig & Derricott has been at the cutting edge of Explosion Proof Switchgear design and manufacture for more than 70 years focussing solely on the design specifications of the installer. This led to the development of the i-switch and i-push product range suitable for hazardous areas offering simple installation, enhanced safety and effectiveness for LV electrical isolation.
Complete range of fire rated isolators are available to provide electrical isolation and protection to building services in the event of a fire.
- Ex d Hazardous Area Zone 1 & Zone 2 Flameproof Isolators ATEX Certified (IECEx) – Explosive Gas Atmospheres
- Ex e Hazardous Area Zone 1 & Zone 2 Increased Safety Isolators ATEX Certified (IECEx) – Explosive Gas Atmospheres
- ATEX Category 3D non-conductive dust Zone 22 Control Stations – Explosive Dust Atmospheres
- Bespoke Control Stations for hazardous areas

Fire Rated Isolators | Resistant to Fire up to 400 Degrees Celsius 120 Minutes – isolators (switch disconnectors) are installed throughout industrial, building services and HVAC (ventilation fans) projects providing excellent switching ability even under fire conditions.
ATEX Isolators
Explosion Proof Isolators | Gas & Dust Atmospheres
ATEX Certified Zone 1 & Zone 2 Isolators – a range of 25A – 180A explosion proof isolators supplied in Exe enclosures manufactured from IP65 glass reinforced polyester to ensure the product will withstand being installed in hazardous area locations and the harshest of industrial environments. Safe Isolation – the operating handles can be padlocked in the ‘Off’ position and all lids are mechanically interlocked with the isolating switch and are removable in the ‘On’ position only.
The i-switch range of isolators for safe installation protect and maintain low voltage power distribution in hazardous area locations – Ex d and Ex e protection are available with current ratings 16A-250A housed in either cast iron or cast aluminium enclosures.
The i-push range of hazardous area control stations are ATEX certified (Group II) for safe use in Zone 22 potentially explosive atmospheres. Control stations can incorporate single or double push buttons, emergency push button and emergency stop start options – hazardous area “stop starts” are manufactured from die-cast aluminium with emergency stop and start contacts configured to client specification.
Craig & Derricott is dedicated to a continued program of investment and growth with recent significant recruitment across the business in Engineering, Sales and Manufacturing.
