FAQs
Install the unit on a base-mount in a clean indoor enclosure. Use screw terminals with a 50 mm width and tighten to 50–75 N·m per IEC 60947-1. Remember that the handle and shaft are ordered separately, so plan for compatible operator components and enclosure clearances before wiring.
The switch supports 1600 A rated operational current across 380–415 V, 500 V, and 690 V, with Ui of 1000 V and Uimp of 12 kV. Front protection is IP20 and it uses screw terminals. It is designed for base mounting in 3P configurations and offers 3P front-operated operation for rapid, safe transfers.
Yes. Its 1600 A current rating, 3-pole configuration, and 1000 V insulation enable use in demanding power distribution and protection schemes. The device is designed for robust operation in industrial environments and supports reliable load transfer with clear mechanical and electrical interfaces suitable for retrofit or new builds.
It includes a CE Declaration of Conformity, RoHS compliance, and environmental data under ABB EcoSolutions. Additional references include CMRT and Reach information, 12 kV impulse withstand, and DNV certificate data for related OT-series variants, supporting regulatory and sustainability requirements.
With modular components and clearly documented disassembly instructions, lifecycle planning is simpler. The 48 W power loss per pole aids thermal budgeting, while the option to purchase handle/shaft separately reduces spares. Ongoing maintenance benefits include straightforward wiring, repeatable torque standards, and robust protection ratings that minimize unplanned downtime.
