FAQs
Installation requires mounting the OT200U30C on a standard base within a control panel, aligning for top in-bottom out terminals as specified. Use 20 mm screw terminals and tighten to 15–22 N·m per IEC 60947-1. Ensure the panel is rated for up to 1000 V and that the operating mechanism is accessible from the front for safe operation.
The device provides a 200 A current rating across AC-21A/22A/23A with a 1000 V insulation voltage and 12 kV impulse withstand. Its three-pole configuration and front-operated design are optimized for reliable mains transfer, enabling quick source changeovers with reduced arc exposure in industrial environments.
Yes. It is designed to UL 98 and IEC 60947-6-1 compliant, with CE declarations where applicable. It also carries RoHS information and CMRT data for material compliance, supporting regulatory requirements for industrial switchgear procurement and installation.
The OT200U30C offers an 8000-cycle mechanical durability rating, reducing maintenance interventions and extending mean time between failures. Note that the handle and shaft are ordered separately, which can influence spare parts planning and lifecycle costs in extended automation projects.
With high durability, 200 A current capability, and robust compliance (UL, IEC, CE), the switch reduces downtime and maintenance costs while simplifying compliance audits. Its base mounting and screw-terminal design also shorten installation time, contributing to a favorable ROI in medium-to-high volume panel builds.
