FAQs

This change-over switch uses screw terminals and is designed for base mounting. It is a 3P device with a compact footprint, intended to be integrated into control panels and switchgear assemblies with compatible ABB accessories.
Yes. The unit provides rated operational current of 200 A across 380–415 V, 500 V, and 690 V for AC-23A configurations, with Ui of 1000 V and Icw of 8 kA, making it appropriate for high-voltage equipment transfer in industrial settings.
The OT200E03CL features closed transition (make-before-break) with a minimum 20 ms overlap. This reduces arcing and downtime during source changes, which is critical for continuous process lines and data-intensive applications.
The product carries CE Declaration of Conformity, RoHS compliance, and a DNV certificate, supporting regulatory compliance, environmental responsibility, and quality assurance for global deployments.
Handle and shaft are not included and must be ordered separately. Plan for base mounting, compatible ABB handles, and verify space for a 170 x 150 x 160 mm enclosure with IP20 protection in indoor control cabinets.
