Switch disconnector for main distribution
The Schneider Electric LV846316 is a MasterPact MTZ2 40HH switch disconnector rated for 4000 A continuous current at 440 V AC, with a breaking capacity of 100 kA Icu at 415 V AC. This 3-pole fixed-mount unit serves as the main disconnect in low-voltage power distribution, providing visible isolation per EN/IEC 60947-3 with a contact position indicator and suitability for isolation marked on the device.
Breaking capacity and duty ratings
Rated short-time withstand current is 75 kA for 3 s, giving downstream breakers time to clear before the main device trips. The making capacity of 220 kA peak at 440 V AC handles the asymmetrical first half-cycle of a bolted fault.
Fixed-mount chassis with a 422 mm width, 352 mm height, and 300 mm depth — sized for standard low-voltage switchgear cubicles. IP30 front protection keeps hands out but expects enclosure sealing for washdown areas.
