Why Choose the ABB OT160G40P Switch Disconnector?
The ABB OT160G40P, order code 1SCA138216R1001, is a compact and reliable 160 A 4-pole switch disconnector designed for safe manual switching and electrical isolation in industrial and commercial low-voltage installations. As part of the proven ABB OT160G switch-disconnector series, it combines high switching performance with a space-efficient design for power distribution, machinery and control panel applications.
The OT160G40P is a base-mounted switch disconnector supplied with an external OHB6516 operating handle and OXP6X210 shaft. This P-version configuration enables operation from outside an electrical enclosure, while ABB's flexible mechanism allows both front and side operation using the same handle and shaft arrangement.
With a rated operational current of 160 A for demanding IEC switching applications and a 4-pole configuration, the OT160G40P is well suited to three-phase systems where neutral switching is also required. Its compact construction helps reduce panel space while providing dependable isolation for industrial equipment and electrical distribution systems.
Key Advantages
- Compact 160 A switch disconnector for industrial and commercial electrical isolation.
- 4-pole configuration supports simultaneous switching of three phases and neutral.
- Supplied with an external operating handle and shaft for enclosure-mounted operation.
- Supports front or side operation using the same handle and shaft arrangement.
- High-performance ABB OT160G design helps minimise valuable panel space.
- Suitable for main switching, maintenance isolation and industrial power distribution applications.

Reliable Electrical Isolation and Switching
Switch disconnectors such as the ABB OT160G40P provide a dependable means of manually switching and isolating electrical circuits. This allows downstream machinery, distribution equipment and other electrical loads to be disconnected from their supply for maintenance, servicing and operational control.
The OT160G range combines high switching performance with compact construction to simplify installation in space-conscious electrical assemblies. The OT160G40P adds an external handle and shaft arrangement, allowing the switch itself to be mounted inside an enclosure while providing convenient manual operation from the exterior of the panel.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution panels.
- Machinery and automation control cabinets.
- Main and local electrical isolation.
- Motor and equipment isolation circuits.
- Commercial and industrial switchboards.
- Three-phase installations requiring neutral switching.
