Product details

Switch disconnector for distribution — 1600 A, 3P, fixed mount

It is rated 1600 A in AC-23A duty across 220–690 V AC, making it suitable for isolating motor and distribution circuits under load per IEC 60947-3. The suitability-for-isolation marking (yes, per IEC 60947-3) and the contact position indicator give the panel builder a clear open/closed state without needing to verify downstream voltage.

The short-time withstand (Icw) is 25 kA for 0.5 s, which governs coordination with upstream protection: the switch must clear a fault before the breaker trips, or the switch must be rated for the full let-through. The making capacity (Icm) of 52 kA at 690 V means it can close onto a bolted fault at that level — important for transfer-switch applications where the switch may close into a live fault.

Fixed-mount, front-connect on both upside and downside. Connection pitch is 70 mm — matches standard busbar spacing for 1600 A class. The 327 mm width and 210 mm height fit a typical distribution section; depth of 147 mm leaves room for rear cabling in a 600 mm deep enclosure. IP40 front-of-panel protection suits indoor switchgear; IK07 impact resistance handles accidental tool drops during maintenance.
