FAQs
Install the 1SCA103292R1001 in a base-mounted enclosure with the front operated access, ensuring the Top In - Bottom Out or Bottom In - Top Out orientation matches your busbar layout. Use screw terminals with a 50 mm width for each connection and tighten to 50–75 N·m as specified. Remember that the handle and shaft are ordered separately, so plan for the correct mechanical interface in your assembly.
The switch is rated for 1600 A across AC-21A/AC-22A/AC-23A and supports 380–415 V as standard, with a main circuit insulation voltage of 1000 V. It has a 12 kV impulse withstand and a short-time withstand current of 50 kA rms for 1 s, which provides a strong margin against transient faults in industrial environments.
Yes. The product carries a CE Declaration of Conformity, RoHS information and status, and Reach/CMRT environmental declarations. This means it aligns with EU and global environmental and safety standards, supporting compliance in multinational facilities and supply chains.
It's ideal for high-current power transfer in main switchgear, control panels, and process automation where reliable front-operated switching is required. The device's 3P configuration, IP20 protection, and open-transition capability make it suitable for mains transfer between sources in factories, data centers, and critical process lines.
The switch’s robust 1600 A rating, 1000 V insulation, and 12 kV impulse withstand reduce the likelihood of premature failures, lowering maintenance intervals and downtime. Its disassembly instructions, RoHS/REACH compliance, and standardized torque values simplify servicing, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and improved overall equipment reliability in demanding environments.
