FAQs
Install in a panel with a 45 mm DIN cut-out and secure the four-pole unit to the base or DIN mounting. Use screw terminals for main connections, tightening to 6 N·m per IEC 60947-1. Wire sizes should be 2.5–70 mm² flexible or solid, and ensure the padlockable knob is accessible for lockout/tagout procedures.
Main circuit rated voltage is 800 V with a rated operating current (Ie) of 160 A. The device supports a short-circuit making capacity (Icm) up to 4.8 kA at 690 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) of 8 kV. It also provides 2.5 kA to 3.3 kA short-time withstand current (Iw) depending on duration, and a front protection rating of IP20.
Yes. The unit offers front IP20 protection suitable for interior control panels. It is intended for cleaner, dry indoor environments with standard engineering controls and proper enclosure sealing, rather than harsh or washdown environments. Pollution degree is rated 3, so appropriate environmental controls should be considered in panel design.
The product is CE and UL/ULc certified, with CCC documentation available. It aligns with IEC 60947-3 standards and provides RoHS and REACH declarations, CMRT (Conflict Minerals Reporting Template), and an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). These certifications support regulatory compliance and sustainability reporting for industrial projects.
The 1SCA162527R1001 offers four poles with front operation, padlockable security, and screw-terminal wiring that reduces wiring errors and maintenance time. Its 160 A rating and 800 V insulation support scalable automation, while 100,000 cycle durability lowers replacement costs. For OEMs and integrators, it translates to faster commissioning, safer maintenance, and improved long-term equipment uptime.
