Why Choose the ABB OT160E04DP 8-Pole Switch Disconnector?
The ABB OT160E04DP is a 160 A eight-pole switch disconnector designed for dependable manual switching and electrical isolation in industrial and commercial low-voltage power distribution systems. Part of the ABB OT switch-disconnector series, this multi-pole model provides simultaneous switching across eight poles for applications requiring more conductors to be isolated than with conventional three- or four-pole devices.
Designed for front operation and base mounting, the OT160E04DP is supplied complete with a black ON-OFF plastic pistol handle, handle extension and operating shaft. The handle provides IP65 protection, can be padlocked in the OFF position and incorporates door interlocking functionality for secure operation within electrical enclosures.
The OT160E04DP has an open-air thermal current of 200 A and operational ratings of 200 A AC-22A / 160 A AC-23A at 400–415 V. Its eight-pole arrangement is mechanically operated as one switching assembly, providing coordinated ON-OFF operation for demanding multi-pole isolation applications.
Key Advantages
- 160 A eight-pole switch disconnector for multi-pole switching and isolation.
- All eight poles operate together from a single operating mechanism.
- 200 A open-air thermal current.

- 200 A AC-22A operational current at 400–415 V.
- 160 A AC-23A operational current at 400–415 V.
- Two-position O-I / OFF-ON operation.
- Front-operated design.
- Base-mounted construction.
- Adjustable operating shaft for different installation depths.
Coordinated Eight-Pole Switching and Isolation
Eight-pole switch disconnectors provide a practical solution where several electrical conductors must be switched and isolated simultaneously from one operating mechanism. This makes the ABB OT160E04DP suitable for specialised distribution, control and industrial applications where conventional three- or four-pole switching does not provide enough switched poles.
The OT160E04DP combines its eight-pole configuration with coordinated mechanical operation, ensuring the switching sections operate together when the handle is moved between the O and I positions. The supplied IP65 pistol handle, extension and adjustable shaft simplify integration into an enclosure while providing secure padlockable isolation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial low-voltage switchboards.
- Multi-pole electrical isolation systems.
- Industrial power distribution panels.
- Control and automation switchgear assemblies.
- Applications requiring simultaneous eight-pole switching.
- Machinery and process equipment isolation.
- Commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems.
