ABB OT Plus OT16G1-3BS16 A Load Break Switch, 3-Pole, 16 A, 690 V AC, IP65 Handle

The ABB OT Plus OT16G1-3BS16 A stands apart from typical load break switches with its integrated IP65-rated handle, allowing safe operation even in dusty or damp environments. This 3-pole switch is rated for 16 A at 690 V AC, making it a robust choice for industrial control and isolation applications. Its compact base mounting design and screw terminals simplify installation, while compliance with IEC 60947-3 ensures reliability and safety.

Highlights

• Rated operational current of 16 A at 690 V AC, suitable for a wide range of industrial loads.
• IP65 handle protection enables use in harsh environments without additional enclosures.
• High mechanical durability of 20,000 cycles ensures long service life.
• Screw terminals accept conductors from 1.5 to 10 mm², providing flexible wiring options.
• Rated insulation voltage of 750 V and impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV for enhanced safety.

In daily use

This load break switch is ideal for manual isolation and switching of motors, heaters, and other electrical equipment. The included black handle offers clear ON/OFF indication and can be padlocked in the OFF position for maintenance safety. With a power loss of only 0.8 W, it operates efficiently, and the IP20 main circuit protection keeps internal components safe from accidental contact. The switch can be mounted on a standard DIN rail or directly on a base plate, offering flexibility in panel design.
