Suitable for

• Industrial power distribution panels
• Commercial building electrical systems
• Motor control centers
• Safe circuit isolation during maintenance

This device may not be suitable for outdoor environments without an additional protective enclosure, as it features an IP20 rating which does not provide protection against water or dust ingress. It is also not intended for applications exceeding its rated current of 160A or voltage specifications.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Rated operational current: 160A
• Rated power capacity: 45kW at 415V (AC23)
• Protection rating: IP20
• Mounting options: Base plate or DIN rail

The switch disconnector should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. Ensure the device is mounted securely on a flat base plate or a standard DIN rail. Connect the power cables to the terminals, ensuring all connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent overheating. Verify the switch operation before energizing the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 160A rating meets your specific load requirements.
• Ensure the installation environment is dry and free from excessive dust.
• Check available space in your electrical cabinet for mounting.
