FAQs
Installation uses base mounting with screw terminals spaced at 50 mm. Torque should be tightened to 50–75 N·m per IEC 60947-1, ensuring tight, vibration-resistant connections. The device supports top-in/bottom-out terminal orientation and features a padlockable 0-position handle with door interlock to prevent accidental transfer during maintenance.
The switch is rated for 1600 A Ith, with a main circuit insulation voltage of 1000 V. It supports AC-23A, AC-22A, and AC-33B operating currents at 380–415 V, 500 V, and 690 V, respectively, and provides a 12 kV rated impulse withstand. These specs make it suitable for high-current distribution and motor-start applications.
Yes. With 4P configuration, 1600 A rating, and 710 kW to 1200 kW nominal reach depending on voltage, the OT1600E22CP is well-suited for motor switching and power transfer in large plant sections. The front-operated mechanism and lockout features support safe, reliable operation in drive and line sections with frequent transfer needs.
The OT1600 series includes a CE Declaration of Conformity and RoHS compliance, with CMRT and Reach environmental declarations. A DNV certificate exists for related OT16-2500_C variants, and the design supports RoHS and WEEE considerations, facilitating regulatory alignment and supplier qualification for regulated industries.
Maintenance benefits include a padlockable 0-position handle and door interlock for safe lockout, documented disassembly instructions in ABB EcoSolutions, and a modular nature with base mounting and screw terminals simplifying field adjustments. These features reduce downtime, extend service life, and ease spare-part planning in long-term asset management.
