Why Choose the ABB OT1000E03CP Manual Change-over Switch?
The ABB OT1000E03CP is a heavy-duty 3-pole 1000 A manual change-over switch designed for reliable manual transfer between two electrical power sources. As part of the ABB OT Change-over Switches range, it provides I-O-II operation with a stable OFF position for industrial power distribution, switchboards and critical supply change-over applications.
Designed for open-transition switching, the OT1000E03CP disconnects one source before connecting the alternative source. The switch is supplied with a black plastic IP65 I-O-II pistol handle, operating shaft and bolt set for cable connection. The operating handle can be padlocked in the O position, with door interlocking available in the I and II positions and when padlocked.
With a rated operational current of 1000 A and a 3-pole configuration, the OT1000E03CP is engineered for demanding low-voltage power distribution systems. At 400–415 V, it provides an AC-23A utilisation rating of 1000 A / 560 kW, making it suitable for high-current switching duties in industrial and commercial electrical installations.
