ABB OT16G1-3BS: quick and orderly disconnection in modular panels
The ABB OT16G1-3BS disconnector from the OT Plus series is designed to offer reliable and safe disconnection in electrical panels where space is valuable. With a rated current of 16 A and a three-pole configuration (3P), it is ideal for three-phase lines without neutral, auxiliary circuits, small motors, ventilation, technical lighting, or dedicated disconnections on specific loads.
Mounting on a base or DIN rail allows maximum flexibility during installation, making it a practical choice for both new constructions and revamping existing panels.
Complete electrical performance: AC-23A for load switching
This model is not just a line disconnector: thanks to AC-23A suitability, it can also handle load switching, with clear values:
-
Ie AC-21A / AC-22A / AC-23A: 16 A @ 415 V and 690 V
-
Pe AC-23A: 7.5 kW @ 415 V and 11 kW @ 690 V
This makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, maintaining a good operational margin in LV panels.
Safety and withstand: Ui 800 V and Uimp 8 kV
In a professional panel, withstand values matter. The OT16G1-3BS offers:
-
Ui 800 V (IEC 60947-1)
-
Uimp 8 kV
Useful parameters for installations where transient overvoltages can occur and where adequate dielectric strength is required over time.
Simple wiring with integrated screw terminals
The device is equipped with screw terminals and requires a Pozidriv 2 screwdriver, facilitating quick and precise installation. The tightening torque of 1 N·m and the stripping length of 910 mm help the installer standardize wiring and reduce errors, especially when working on many lines. The accepted sections cover the most common distribution needs:
-
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: ideal for maintenance and safety procedures
The lockable feature allows securing lines during interventions and maintenance, preventing accidental reactivations. The mechanical durability of 100,000 operations confirms a product designed for reliable use over time. Additionally, the dissipation is minimal (0.1 W per pole), advantageous in compact panels where every watt affects the internal temperature.
