FAQs
The OT160E33WCP is designed for base mounting and front operation, with screw terminals and a 20 mm terminal width for secure wiring. It fits standard industrial control enclosures and enables straightforward panel integration, reducing modification time. For compatibility checks, verify mounting pattern and available front access space in the target cabinet.
Rated Operational Current Ie is 160 A across 380–415 V, 500 V, and 690 V, with Ui rated at 1000 V and an impulse withstand voltage Uimp of 12 kV. The device provides Icw up to 8 kA for 1 s, supporting short-duration fault handling. These specs support safe switching in common industrial networks.
Yes, the OT160E33WCP is designed for safety-conscious installations. It includes a padlockable 0-position and a door interlock for positions I and II, preventing energization during maintenance. The front-operated mechanism and robust mechanical design support controlled energy isolation in process lines and motor control scenarios.
This model ships with a CE Declaration of Conformity for OT160E_C variants and a DNV Certificate (OT16-2500_C). It also provides RoHS compliance and Reach declarations. These certifications assist procurement and regulatory compliance, especially in industries with strict safety and environmental requirements.
Maintenance benefits arise from robust mechanical design, padlockable safety features, and low heat dissipation at 2.4 W per pole, reducing thermal wear. The high current rating and reliable contact mechanism minimize downtime during transfers, delivering a favorable return on investment through reduced maintenance intervals and faster changeovers in manufacturing lines.
