Why Choose the ABB OT160EV22P 4-Pole Switch Disconnector?

The ABB OT160EV22P is a 160 A four-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 mechanical model provides simultaneous four-pole switching for installations requiring reliable isolation of multiple conductors.

The OT160EV22P is a front-operated, base-mounted design with its operating mechanism positioned between the poles. It is supplied with a black ON-OFF plastic pistol handle and operating shaft as standard, while the handle provides IP65 protection, can be padlocked in the OFF position and provides door interlocking for secure switchboard operation.

Rated at 160 A AC-23A at 400–415 V, the OT160EV22P also provides an open-air thermal current of 200 A and AC-23A operational power of 88 kW at 400–415 V. Its robust electrical ratings and four-pole configuration make it suitable for machinery, distribution boards and industrial power isolation applications.
