FAQs
The unit uses base mounting with screw terminals requiring a 20 mm terminal width. Plan for 160 A ratings across 380–415 V (and 690 V) with a torque specification of 15–22 N·m. Use the included shaft and bolt set for cable connections. Ensure the front is accessible for 90° operation and confirm the enclosure provides IP20 protection.
Key ratings include Ith of 160 A, Ui of 1000 V, Uimp of 12 kV, and rated currents of 160 A across AC-21A, AC-22A, AC-23A, AC-31B, and AC-33B configurations. The switch supports up to 90° fast transfer with a minimum OFF-time of 20 ms, and a rated operational power of up to 160 kW (depending on voltage).
Yes. The OT160E04CFP is designed for high-voltage industrial use, with a rated main circuit voltage up to 1000 V and a 12 kV impulse withstand. Its four-pole design supports simultaneous transfer, making it suitable for critical machine feeds and power distribution panels operating in 380–415 V or higher voltage classes.
The product includes a Declaration of Conformity (CE) and has a DNV certificate for critical service use. It also conforms to RoHS and REACH requirements, with IP20 front protection and alignment to ETIM and eClass classifications for accurate procurement and installation.
With screw terminals, defined tightening torque (15–22 N·m), and a non-padlockable handle, commissioning is straightforward and repeatable. The rugged 4P fast-transition design minimizes downtime during source changes, reducing maintenance downtime costs and extending the service life of distribution panels and critical power paths.
