A modular three position vacuum isolator switch that is operable to connect a stationary contact to either of two moveable contacts or an intermediate position which is out of electrical engagement with either of the moveable contacts. One of the moveable contacts is grounded and the other is connected a power source. The stationary contact is connected to two electrical connectors. One of the two electrical connectors is connected to a breaker and the second is connected to a corresponding input on a second similar isolator switch model, which itself is connected to a second line source. The stationary contact is connected to the circuit interrupter for connecting the circuit interrupter to either of the two line sources, to ground, or to isolate the circuit interrupter by placing the isolator switch module in the intermediate position.
