Why Choose the ABB E204/40R Switch Disconnector?
The ABB E204/40R is a modular four-pole switch disconnector designed for manual switching and electrical isolation in distribution boards, switchboards and control panels. Part of ABB's E200 range, it provides a 40 A rated current and coordinated four-pole operation for professional low-voltage electrical installations.
With a rated operational voltage of 230 / 400 V AC, the E204/40R incorporates four normally open contacts (4NO) and a red operating handle. Its four-pole arrangement allows multiple conductors to be switched together, making it particularly suitable for three-phase distribution and other applications requiring simultaneous multi-pole isolation.
The E204/40R offers a 25 kA rated conditional short-circuit current and total power loss of 2.8 W. Practical installation features include captive recessed/slotted screws, fast removal without dismantling the busbar, provision for up to three ABB S2C-H6R auxiliary contacts and compatibility with an optional locking device to help prevent unauthorised ON/OFF operation.

Reliable Four-Pole Switching and Electrical Isolation
The ABB E204/40R provides coordinated switching across four poles from a single operating mechanism. Its 40 A rating and 400 V system capability make it suitable for multi-pole distribution applications where a clearly defined manual switching and isolation point is required.
Installation and maintenance are simplified by captive screws and ABB's fast-removal design, which allows the device to be removed without dismantling the connected busbar. Up to three compatible S2C-H6R auxiliary contacts can be added for supplementary status signalling, while an optional locking device can help prevent unauthorised switching.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase electrical distribution boards.
- Three-phase plus neutral switching applications.
- Industrial switchboards and control panels.
- Four-pole manual isolation of electrical loads.
- Commercial building electrical distribution systems.
- Machinery and equipment isolation circuits.
- Modular switchgear and power distribution assemblies.
