Reliable Six-Pole Isolation with High-Capacity Motor Switching
The ABB OT400DLAA6T provides simultaneous switching of six electrical conductors through a common manually operated switch-disconnector mechanism. Its 400 A nominal rating and substantial AC-23A motor switching capabilities make it suitable for appropriately designed industrial distribution and machinery applications where six-pole disconnection is required.
The steel enclosure provides mechanical protection for the internal switching equipment. Its IP54 protection rating applies when the completed enclosure installation is correctly assembled and sealed. Because the OT400DLAA6T features open top and bottom cable entry areas, suitable entry components, fixing profiles and cable sealing arrangements must be selected to preserve the required enclosure protection.
The included 4 NO + 2 NC auxiliary contact arrangement supports electrical indication and control functions associated with the switch position. A protective earth terminal is also supplied for appropriate earthing of the metal enclosure. The switch-disconnector itself does not provide automatic overload or short-circuit protection, so correctly coordinated protective devices must be included in the electrical installation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial six-pole electrical isolation.
- 400 A industrial feeder switching.
- Manufacturing and production machinery.
- Industrial motor supply switching within the applicable utilisation ratings.
- Multiple-circuit machinery isolation arrangements.
- Industrial electrical distribution systems.
- Large pump, fan and mechanical plant installations.
- Industrial process equipment.
- Electrical installations requiring auxiliary switch-position signalling.
- Fixed steel enclosed switchgear installations.
- Commercial and industrial building services.
- Projects requiring open top and bottom cable entry arrangements.
