ABB 315A 3-Pole Steel Enclosed Changeover Switch – 1SCA022280R2790
The ABB 1SCA022280R2790 is a 315 A, three-pole steel enclosed changeover switch designed for controlled switching between two electrical supplies or circuits in suitable low-voltage installations. Classified within ABB's Metal Enclosed (Loadbreak) product group, this robust switching assembly is intended for industrial and commercial electrical distribution applications.
Its 315 A current rating, three-pole configuration and steel enclosure make it a practical solution for electrical systems requiring a dedicated manual changeover point. The enclosed arrangement helps protect the switching mechanism while providing a convenient location for operation and maintenance.
Designed for appropriate three-phase installations, the ABB enclosed changeover switch supports planned source selection, equipment supply transfer and electrical distribution arrangements where two supply paths must be managed through a common switching point.

Controlled Changeover Between Electrical Supplies
The ABB 315 A three-pole enclosed changeover switch is intended for electrical installations where a load or distribution circuit must be connected to one of two available supply paths. Changeover switching can support mains-to-alternative-supply arrangements, maintenance supply selection and other engineered distribution systems.
The three-pole construction provides switching of three conductors in a suitable three-phase circuit. Where a neutral conductor is present, its treatment must be determined separately according to the electrical system design, earthing arrangement and applicable installation requirements.
The 315 A rating provides a key selection parameter, but final suitability must also be checked against the manufacturer's applicable operational voltage, utilisation category, making and breaking capacities, and short-circuit coordination requirements.
For generator or dual-supply applications, the overall installation must include appropriate source interlocking, protection and operating procedures. The changeover switch itself should not be assumed to provide automatic transfer, synchronisation or overload protection.
Durable Steel Enclosed Construction
The steel enclosure provides a robust housing for the changeover switching assembly and is suited to industrial and commercial electrical installations where mechanical protection and orderly equipment arrangement are important.
The enclosure must be installed in accordance with ABB's applicable mounting, cable termination, protective earthing and environmental requirements. Its precise ingress protection rating, dimensions and cable-entry configuration should be confirmed for the supplied assembly before installation.
Typical Applications
- Manual mains and alternative supply changeover.
- Industrial three-phase electrical distribution.
- Commercial building supply selection.
- Generator changeover arrangements with suitable system protection.
- Maintenance and operational supply transfer points.
- Industrial plant electrical infrastructure.
- Manufacturing and processing facilities.
- Electrical distribution board installations.
- Panel building and power distribution projects.
- Applications requiring a 315 A three-pole steel enclosed changeover switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB 1SCA022280R2790?
The ABB 1SCA022280R2790 is a 315 A three-pole steel enclosed changeover switch intended for suitable low-voltage electrical distribution applications.
What is the current rating of this ABB changeover switch?
The specified current rating is 315 A. Installation suitability also depends on the applicable voltage, switching duty and circuit protection requirements.
How many poles does the switch have?
The switch has three poles (3P), making it suitable for appropriately designed three-phase switching arrangements.
What does C/O mean in the product description?
C/O means changeover. It describes a switching function used to select between alternative electrical supply paths or circuits.
What material is the enclosure made from?
The switch is supplied in a steel enclosure, providing a durable housing for the electrical switching assembly.
Can this switch be used for mains-to-generator changeover?
It can be considered for a suitably engineered mains-to-generator changeover installation, provided its electrical ratings, source interlocking and protective arrangements meet the system requirements.
Is the ABB 1SCA022280R2790 an automatic transfer switch?
No automatic transfer function is specified. The product is described as an enclosed changeover switch, so it should not be assumed to provide automatic source monitoring or transfer.
Does the switch disconnect the neutral conductor?
The specified configuration is three-pole. Neutral switching is not identified as part of this configuration and must be addressed separately where required by the installation design.
Does the changeover switch provide overload protection?
A changeover switch is not a substitute for a circuit breaker or overload protective device. Appropriate overcurrent and short-circuit protection must be provided as required by the electrical installation.
What is the IP rating of the enclosure?
The supplied specification identifies a steel enclosed assembly but does not state an exact IP rating. The enclosure protection classification should be checked against ABB's documentation for this specific product reference.
What is the ABB manufacturer reference?
The manufacturer reference is 1SCA022280R2790, associated with the description 315A 3 pole enclosed C/O switch.
A Practical Choice for Industrial Power Distribution
The ABB 1SCA022280R2790 combines a 315 A current rating, three-pole changeover function and durable steel enclosure to provide a practical enclosed switching solution for industrial and commercial electrical supply selection.
