Why Choose the ABB 1SCA120517R1001 OT160EV03WP Switch-Disconnector?
The ABB 1SCA120517R1001, order code OT160EV03WP, is a 160 A, 3-pole switch-disconnector with wide phase distance designed for dependable manual switching and electrical isolation in industrial and commercial low-voltage systems. As part of the ABB 311027-OT Switches product group, it belongs to ABB's high-performance OT range for switchboards, distribution assemblies, machinery and control equipment.
The OT160EV03WP is a front-operated, base-mounted switch-disconnector with increased spacing between phases and phase barriers fitted as standard. It is supplied with a black ON-OFF plastic pistol-grip handle and adjustable operating shaft, providing a complete operating arrangement for installation into suitable electrical panels and enclosures.
The switch has a conventional free-air thermal current of 200 A and provides operational ratings of 200 A AC-22A and 160 A AC-23A at 400–415 V. Its wide-phase construction provides additional spacing around the main connections, making it particularly useful where switchboard layouts, busbar arrangements or installation requirements benefit from increased phase separation.

Wide-Phase Industrial Switching and Isolation
Wide-phase switch-disconnectors provide additional spacing between electrical phases compared with standard configurations, helping accommodate particular busbar layouts, conductor arrangements and switchboard designs. The ABB OT160EV03WP combines this wide-phase construction with a compact three-pole OT160 switching mechanism and factory-fitted phase barriers.
For convenient panel operation, the OT160EV03WP includes a black IP65 ON-OFF pistol-grip handle and adjustable shaft. The handle can be padlocked in the OFF position and provides door interlocking, while the switch's 200 A AC-22A and 160 A AC-23A ratings at 400–415 V support demanding industrial switching and isolation duties.
Typical Applications
- Industrial switchboards and distribution panels.
- Applications requiring increased phase spacing.
- Busbar-based electrical distribution assemblies.
- Industrial control panels.
- Machinery and production equipment isolation.
- Motor and industrial load switching.
- Manufacturing and process installations.
- OEM electrical equipment and panel assemblies.
