FAQs

Yes. The switch-disconnector uses screw terminals compatible with copper conductors in the 10 to 70 mm² range. Tightening torque is specified at 6 N·m to ensure a secure, code-compliant connection. This supports reliable terminations in compact base-mounted panels, reducing maintenance needs and voltage drop concerns.
The device is rated for 160 A operating current at 1000 V rated insulation voltage, with a rated impulse withstand of 12 kV. It supports a 690 V system and provides a high short-circuit capability (I cm up to 12 kA) at the appropriate fuse condition, making it suitable for demanding control circuits.
Yes, it is designed for motor control and power distribution panels. It features base mounting with four poles and a right-side fourth pole, enabling seamless integration into existing enclosures. The mechanism is front and side operated, which simplifies access and servicing within tight panel layouts.
The product carries CE declarations and UL/CSA listings, with a DNV GL certificate for added reliability. It conforms to IEC 60947-3 standards, which is widely recognized in global markets. These certifications support cross-border procurement and safer installation in regulated environments.
With a mechanical durability rating of about 20,000 cycles and robust front IP20 protection, the device offers long service life with predictable maintenance needs. Base mounting and screw terminals reduce rework during replacement, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and shorter downtime in batch production or high-usage applications.
