FAQs
Yes. The 1SCA108492R1001 is designed for base mounting with screw terminals, making it straightforward to retrofit into existing ABB OT160E-based switchgear and distribution panels. Verify late-stage wiring diagrams, follow tightening torque guidelines (15–22 N·m), and ensure the four-pole configuration aligns with your current feeders and enclosure space.
Key ratings include a 160 A rated operational current across AC-21A/AC-22A/AC-23A for voltages up to 1000 V, a 12 kV rated impulse withstand voltage, and a 1000 V rated insulation voltage. It uses screw terminals and supports up to 2.4 W per pole power loss, allowing predictable thermal performance in continuous operation.
Absolutely. With 4P configuration, fast 90-degree actuation, and robust current/voltage ratings, this switch is well-suited for motor control centers and transformer feeders where rapid isolation and reliable transfer are critical for uptime and safety.
The product carries CE conformity, RoHS, and Reach declarations, enabling straightforward regulatory compliance in many regions. It also has DNV certification for specific commercial contexts, providing additional assurance for high-integrity applications such as offshore or critical power plants.
The four-pole fast-transition design reduces wear from frequent transfer actions, and the base-mount with screw terminals simplifies field servicing and future upgrades. The included IP65 handle enhances operator safety, while the compact footprint supports reduced enclosure space and preventive maintenance schedules, yielding lower lifecycle costs over the asset’s operational life.
