Reliable Switching and Fuse Protection
Switch fuses combine manual circuit switching and isolation with fuse-based protection, allowing downstream electrical equipment to be disconnected while appropriately selected fuse links provide overcurrent and short-circuit protection. This makes them well suited to industrial distribution systems, machinery and electrical control equipment.
The ABB OS160GB22N1-42 provides this functionality in a 160 A four-pole configuration with a non-fused switched neutral on the left side. Its integrated back nuts provide the specific terminal arrangement required by this model, while the separate handle and shaft configuration gives panel builders flexibility when selecting compatible operating accessories.
Typical Applications
- Industrial low-voltage power distribution systems.
- Electrical switchboards and distribution panels.
- Machinery isolation and protection circuits.
- Four-pole feeder and distribution circuits.
- Electrical control cabinets and enclosures.
- Commercial and infrastructure electrical installations.
