ABB OT40G1-4BSN2: professional disconnection for LV panels
The ABB OT40G1-4BSN2 disconnector from the OT Plus series is designed to create tidy and safe panels, offering a clear and reliable disconnection up to 40 A. The 4P configuration is ideal for three-phase networks with neutral or for systems where you want to interrupt all conductors simultaneously, improving safety during maintenance phases and reducing the risks of returns or residual power supplies.
Thanks to mounting on base or DIN rail, it adapts to multiple scenarios: distribution boards, auxiliary lines, disconnection of dedicated utilities, and small industrial installations.
Switched fourth pole: correct sequence in operations
The device features the fourth pole on the right side, of the switched type with late-break / early-make function. In practice, the switched pole (often the neutral) opens last and closes first, improving the management of the disconnection sequence and reducing possible transient conditions during the opening/closing of the circuit. It is a useful feature especially in panels where the correct operation of the neutral is important for reliability and safety.
Electrical performance: AC-23A for loads in operation
The disconnector is suitable for the main categories of use, making it usable for both lines and loads:
-
AC-21A: 40 A @ 415/690 V
-
AC-22A: 40 A @ 415/690 V
-
AC-23A: 40 A @ 415 V and 25 A @ 690 V
-
AC-23A power: 18.5 kW (415 V) and 22 kW (690 V)
Additionally, it offers good holding parameters:
-
Ui 800 V (IEC 60947-1)
-
Uimp 8 kV
Orderly wiring and simple maintenance
The integrated screw terminals and the position of the line terminals (from Top to Bottom) make wiring intuitive. The indicated tightening torque (1 N·m) and the stripping length (910 mm) help achieve correct and repeatable connections. The operating mechanism on the top and the front control allow quick operations even in compact panels.
Operational safety: lockable and long-lasting
The provision for a padlock allows locking in position, useful in maintenance procedures and to prevent accidental reactivations. The mechanical durability of 100,000 operations confirms a reliable construction, also suitable for installations with frequent operations. The dissipation remains contained with 1.0 W per pole under nominal conditions, an important data for high-density panels
