Why Choose the ABB OT315E13C 315 A 4-Pole Manual Changeover Switch?
The ABB OT315E13C is a heavy-duty 315 A 4-pole manual changeover switch designed for dependable source selection in low-voltage power distribution systems. Part of the ABB OT Changeover Switches range, it provides controlled manual transfer between two electrical supplies for industrial switchboards, distribution panels and alternative power systems.
This model uses an I-O-II open-transition operating sequence, providing a defined OFF position between the two source positions. Its 4-pole configuration enables four conductors to be switched together, while the E13 operating mechanism is positioned in the middle, between the poles.
Rated at 315 A, the OT315E13C provides substantial switching capability for demanding electrical distribution applications. This particular version is supplied without a handle and shaft, allowing compatible ABB operating accessories to be selected separately according to the switchboard or enclosure design.

Reliable Four-Pole Power Source Changeover
Manual changeover switches provide a controlled method of selecting between two electrical supplies. The ABB OT315E13C uses an I-O-II open-transition arrangement, ensuring that the switching sequence passes through a defined OFF position when transferring a circuit from one source to the other.
Its 315 A rating, four-pole construction and centrally positioned E13 operating mechanism make the OT315E13C suitable for demanding power distribution systems requiring four-conductor source changeover. The separately selected handle and shaft provide additional flexibility when integrating the switch into custom switchboards and enclosures.
Typical Applications
- Main and alternative power supply changeover systems.
- Generator and mains source-selection systems.
- Industrial low-voltage distribution switchboards.
- Four-pole electrical distribution systems.
- Industrial machinery and plant power systems.
- Commercial and infrastructure electrical installations.
