Why Choose the ABB OT160EVS40 160 A 4-Pole Side-Operated Switch-Disconnector?
The ABB OT160EVS40, part number 1SCA120568R1001, is a 160 A, 4-pole, side-operated switch-disconnector designed for base-mounted industrial isolation and switching applications. Part of ABB's OT switch-disconnector family, it provides reliable manual isolation for electrical distribution, machinery and industrial control systems.
The OT160EVS40 uses a side-operated mechanism positioned at the end of the switch and is designed for base mounting. The operating handle and shaft are not included, allowing the appropriate external operating components to be selected for the enclosure and installation, while the required terminal bolt kit is included.
With a rated continuous current of 160 A, four poles and a maximum rated operational voltage of 1000 V AC, the OT160EVS40 is suited to demanding low-voltage installations. At 400 V, it provides an AC-23 rated operational current of 160 A and rated operational power of 88 kW.
Key Advantages
- 160 A rated continuous current for industrial switching and isolation.
- 4-pole configuration for multi-pole electrical systems.
- Side-operated design with the operating mechanism at the end of the switch.
- Designed for secure base mounting inside electrical enclosures.
- Maximum rated operational voltage of 1000 V AC.
- 8 kA short-time withstand current for 1 second.
- Suitable for use as a main switch and maintenance/service switch.
- Terminal bolt kit included for installation.
- Separate handle and shaft selection provides flexibility for enclosure design.

High-Performance Side-Operated Isolation
The ABB OT160EVS40 combines a four-pole switching arrangement with a side-operated mechanism, making it suitable for enclosure designs where the switch is operated from the side rather than through a conventional front-operated arrangement. Its base-mounted construction provides a robust platform for integration into industrial switchboards and machinery control systems.
Because the handle and operating shaft are ordered separately, installers can select compatible operating accessories to suit the enclosure dimensions and required external handle arrangement. The included terminal bolt kit supports installation of the main power conductors, while the switch's electrical ratings make it suitable for demanding load isolation duties.
Typical Applications
- Industrial main switch applications.
- Machinery isolation systems.
- Maintenance and service isolation.
- Industrial electrical switchboards.
- Power distribution panels.
- Motor and machinery control systems.
- Commercial and industrial electrical enclosures.
- Four-pole isolation applications requiring side operation.
