FAQs
Base mounting is the intended mounting method for this unit, allowing straightforward alignment with standard 3-phase panels and motor-control centers. The 3P configuration and screw-terminal wiring simplify installation and field wiring, while the 50 mm terminal width supports large conductors for 1000 A. The robust mechanical design harmonizes with ABB switchgear layouts, reducing integration risk and ensuring spare parts availability through a consistent BOM.
Electrical ratings include a rated current of 1000 A across 380–415 V (AC-21/22/23), insulation voltage 1000 V, and 12 kV impulse withstand. This setup supports heavy-duty industrial drives, conveyors, and panels with high fault-current potential. Termination uses 50 mm screws, with a tightening torque of 50–75 N·m to ensure reliable, thermally stable connections in changing operating conditions.
The switch housing provides front IP20 protection, suitable for clean environments and enclosed panels. The unit includes a black pistol-type handle rated IP65 for enhanced safety during maintenance and padlockable operation in the 0-position. This combination supports safer maintenance workflows and aligns with typical industrial safety programs.
The OT1000E03CP family carries a CE Declaration of Conformity, RoHS and Reach compliance, reflecting safety and environmental standards. ABB provides related EcoSolutions documentation, and a DNV certificate OT16-2500_C covers related variants, supporting regulatory acceptance in high-integrity industries such as marine and energy.
