Why Choose the ABB OT1000E13CP Manual Change-Over Switch?

The ABB OT1000E13CP is a heavy-duty 1000 A four-pole manual change-over switch designed for controlled switching between two electrical power sources. Part of ABB's OT manual change-over switch range, it provides I-O-II open-transition operation for industrial power distribution, standby power and source-selection applications.

Rated at 1000 A, the OT1000E13CP combines four-pole switching with an operating mechanism positioned between the poles. It has a rated operational voltage of 1000 V AC, a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V and a short-time withstand current of 50 kA for 1 s, making it suitable for demanding high-current distribution systems.

The OT1000E13CP includes a black plastic IP65 I-O-II pistol-type handle, operating shaft and bolt set for cable connection. The handle can be padlocked in the OFF position and provides door interlocking in the I and II positions and when padlocked, supporting controlled operation and secure electrical isolation.

High-Current Four-Pole Manual Source Change-Over

The ABB OT1000E13CP provides mechanical source selection through an I-O-II open-transition sequence. This arrangement disconnects the selected source before connecting the alternative source, providing a defined OFF position between the two operating states and preventing simultaneous connection through the change-over switch.

Its four-pole, 1000 A construction, mechanism-between-poles configuration and high short-time withstand capability make the OT1000E13CP suitable for substantial three-phase distribution systems where four-pole source switching is required. The included IP65 operating handle, shaft and connection hardware provide a coordinated ABB solution for professional switchboard integration.

Typical Applications

  • Manual mains and generator change-over systems.
  • Four-pole source-selection systems.
  • Industrial power-distribution switchboards.
  • Standby and alternative power systems.
  • Commercial building electrical distribution.
  • Infrastructure and critical-power installations.
  • Manufacturing and industrial facilities.
  • OEM change-over and power-control panels.
