Why Choose the ABB OT160G30K Switch Disconnector?
The ABB OT160G30K is a compact 160 A three-pole switch disconnector designed for reliable manual switching and electrical isolation in industrial and commercial low-voltage systems. Part of the ABB OT160G range, it combines high switching performance with a compact footprint for machinery, distribution and control applications.
This model is front operated and base mounted with protected clamp terminals for the main-circuit connections. The K version includes an ABB YAST1 black direct-mount handle, providing convenient local operation directly at the switch without requiring a separate external door-mounted handle and shaft assembly.
The OT160G30K provides 160 A AC-22A and AC-23A performance at 690 V under IEC ratings. It is also rated at 100 A at 600 V under UL 98 Listed and 125 A at 600 V under UL 98 Recognized, making it suitable for equipment intended for both IEC and North American applications.
Key Advantages
- Compact 160 A three-pole switch disconnector for industrial electrical isolation.
- 160 A AC-22A / AC-23A at 690 V under IEC ratings.

- 160 A rated operational current under IEC AC-22A / AC-23A at 690 V.
- 3-pole configuration.
- 75 kW AC-23 operational power at 400 V.
- 1000 V AC maximum rated operational voltage.
- 4 kA rated short-time withstand current.
- Front-operated design.
- Base-mounted construction.
- Protected clamp main-circuit terminals.
- Black direct-mounted YAST1 operating handle included.
Compact Direct-Handle Switching and Isolation
Direct-handle switch disconnectors provide convenient manual control directly at the switching device while maintaining the electrical isolation function required for machinery, distribution and maintenance applications. The OT160G30K combines this operating arrangement with ABB's compact OT160G construction, helping reduce the space required for high-performance three-pole switching.
With 160 A AC-23A performance at 690 V, 75 kW AC-23 capability at 400 V and ratings for IEC and UL applications, the OT160G30K provides a versatile solution for industrial equipment. The factory-included YAST1 direct handle distinguishes the K version from OT160G variants supplied without a handle or with external door-mounted operating accessories.
Typical Applications
- Industrial low-voltage switchboards.
- Three-phase electrical isolation.
- Non-fusible disconnect applications.
- Industrial machinery and equipment.
- Motor and load isolation.
- Control and automation panels.
- Local direct-handle disconnect applications.
- IEC and UL/CSA industrial electrical systems.
