ABB OT40G1-3BS: reliable disconnection for three-phase lines
The ABB OT40G1-3BS disconnector from the OT Plus series is designed to ensure a clear and safe disconnection up to 40 A in professional electrical panels. The three-pole version (3P) is ideal for three-phase systems without neutral, to disconnect dedicated lines, technical utilities, ventilation, pumps, department panels, or sub-distributions. The compact format and front control allow for easy management even in high-density panels.
The installation is versatile: it can be mounted on a base or on a DIN rail, making it suitable for both new panels and expansion and revamping interventions.
Electrical performance: suitable for load switching (AC-23A)
Unlike solutions designed only for isolation, the OT40G1-3BS is suitable for use categories that also cover load switching:
-
AC-21A: 40 A @ 415/690 V (predominantly resistive loads)
-
AC-22A: 40 A @ 415/690 V (mixed loads)
-
AC-23A: 40 A @ 415 V and 25 A @ 690 V (loads with high inductance, e.g., motors)
-
AC-23A power: 18.5 kW @ 415 V and 22 kW @ 690 V
These data make it a solid choice for disconnection and control of three-phase utilities, with a good operational margin.
Insulation and safety: Ui 800 V and Uimp 8 kV
For integration in LV panels, insulation values are fundamental. The device offers:
-
Ui 800 V (IEC 60947-1)
-
Uimp 8 kV
Parameters that help manage transient overvoltages and maintain a high level of reliability over time.
Orderly wiring with integrated screw terminals
The integrated screw terminals allow for quick and stable connection. The installer has clear indications for correct installation:
-
recommended screwdriver: Pozidriv 2
-
tightening torque 1 N·m
-
stripping 910 mm
The connection capacity covers the most common sections:
-
flexible with ferrule 0.754 mm² (1/2x)
-
solid 0.756 mm² (1/2x)
-
flexible 1x up to 16 mm² / 2x up to 6 mm²
Lockable and durable: perfect for maintenance and safety procedures
The provision for a padlock allows the disconnector to be locked in position during interventions, preventing accidental reactivations. The mechanical durability is 100,000 operations, suitable for installations where frequent operations are expected. Losses are contained (1.0 W per pole), useful in compact panels where thermal management is a real issue.
