Why Choose the ABB OT160KLAA4C Enclosed Change-Over Switch?
The ABB OT160KLAA4C is a robust 160 A 4-pole enclosed change-over switch designed for manual switching between two electrical supplies or circuits in industrial and commercial low-voltage installations. Identified by ABB order number 1SCA120697R1001, it belongs to ABB's 311019-Metal Enclosed (Loadbreak) product group and combines ABB OT change-over switching technology with a durable steel-sheet enclosure.
The OT160KLAA4C provides 4-pole change-over switching with clearly defined I-O-II operation, enabling manual selection between two sources with an OFF position between the two operating positions. Its IP54 steel-sheet enclosure protects the switching assembly, while the front-operated black pistol-type handle provides clear indication of the selected switch position.
Rated at 160 A AC-22A up to 690 V AC and 135 A AC-23A up to 415 V AC, the OT160KLAA4C is suitable for substantial manual transfer and distribution applications. The enclosure is supplied open at the top and bottom, allowing suitable C-flange or ring-flange cable-entry accessories to be selected separately for the installation.

Reliable Four-Pole Manual Change-Over Switching
The ABB OT160KLAA4C provides a dedicated manual means of selecting between two electrical supplies or circuits. Its 4-pole configuration allows four conductors to be switched as part of the change-over operation, while the I-O-II operating sequence provides two selectable positions separated by a defined OFF position.
The IP54 steel-sheet enclosure provides robust protection for the switching assembly, while the front-operated pistol handle makes the selected position clearly visible. Open top and bottom cable-entry areas provide flexibility for incoming and outgoing conductors, with suitable C-flange or ring-flange accessories selected separately according to the installation requirements.
Typical Applications
- Manual mains-to-generator change-over systems.
- Alternative electrical supply selection.
- Three-phase systems requiring 4-pole change-over switching.
- Industrial low-voltage distribution systems.
- Commercial electrical distribution installations.
- Manufacturing and process facilities.
- Backup and standby power supply arrangements.
