1SCA152720R1001 ABB ATEX EMC Safety Switch 16 A 6 Pole 7.5 kW

Why Choose the ABB OTA16S6BX ATEX EMC Safety Switch?

The ABB OTA16S6BX is a robust ATEX EMC enclosed safety switch-disconnector designed for safe isolation of electrical loads in potentially explosive and dusty industrial environments. With ABB product ID 1SCA152720R1001, this six-pole switch combines reliable load-breaking performance with a durable aluminium enclosure for demanding machinery and process applications.

Designed for potentially explosive atmospheres in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, the OTA16S6BX has an ATEX classification of Ex tc III T70°C Dc and is intended for use in Zone 22 dust environments. The product is EMC approved and can be used in EMC installations when paired with appropriate EMC cable glands.

With a rated operational current of 16 A at 380–415 V AC-23A and a motor switching rating of 7.5 kW at 415 V, the OTA16S6BX provides dependable six-pole isolation for industrial equipment. Its top-in, bottom-out terminal arrangement, black rotary handle and factory-mounted 1NO auxiliary contact support straightforward integration into industrial electrical systems.
