Why Choose the ABB OTM1600E4M230C Motorised Load Break Switch?

The ABB OTM1600E4M230C is a heavy-duty 1600 A four-pole motorised load break switch / switch disconnector designed for remote switching and dependable isolation in high-current low-voltage power systems. As part of the ABB OTM motorised switch-disconnector series, it combines electrically powered operation with manual operating capability for industrial power distribution and switchboard applications.

Designed for applications where switching must be controlled remotely, the OTM1600E4M230C incorporates a motor-operated mechanism with a 230 V-class control supply. Its four-pole arrangement enables simultaneous switching of four conductors, while the included manual operating provision allows local operation when required.

With a rated current of 1600 A, four-pole configuration and rated operational voltage up to 1000 V AC, the OTM1600E4M230C is suited to major distribution boards and industrial power assemblies. The switch provides 1600 A AC-21A and AC-22A duty and 1250 A AC-23A duty at common industrial voltages up to 690 V AC.
