Why Choose the ABB OS160GB12 160 A 3-Pole Switch Fuse?
The ABB OS160GB12 is a robust 160 A 3-pole switch fuse designed for switching, isolation and fuse-based protection in low-voltage electrical distribution systems. Part of the ABB OS160 range, it provides dependable fused isolation for industrial switchboards, distribution panels and machinery applications.
The OS160GB12 uses the British Standard fuse system and is designed for A2–A4 fuse links. Its defining configuration is the 12 operating mechanism positioned between the poles, providing a compact central operating arrangement for front-operated switchboard installations.
Rated at 160 A with a 3-pole configuration, the OS160GB12 supports switching applications up to 690 V AC. This version is supplied without a handle and operating shaft, allowing suitable ABB operating accessories to be selected separately to match the enclosure and installation requirements.

Reliable 160 A Switching, Isolation and Fuse Protection
The ABB OS160GB12 combines manual circuit switching and isolation with the protection provided by appropriately selected British Standard A2–A4 fuse links. Its 160 A, 3-pole configuration enables all three phases of a three-phase circuit to be switched together while the installed fuse links provide overcurrent and short-circuit protection according to their selected characteristics.
The 12 mechanism is positioned between the poles, providing the central operating arrangement that distinguishes this configuration within the OS160 range. As the OS160GB12 is supplied without a handle or shaft, compatible ABB operating components can be selected separately to suit the required enclosure depth and external operating arrangement.
Typical Applications
- Industrial three-phase power distribution systems.
- Main and sub-distribution switchboards.
- Three-phase feeder switching and isolation.
- Industrial machinery and equipment supplies.
- Electrical control panels and distribution assemblies.
- Installations requiring British Standard A2–A4 fuse protection.
