Reliable Manual Transfer Switching for Low Voltage Systems

Change-over switches such as the ABB OT160E03CP provide a dependable method of manually transferring an electrical load between two power sources. This is commonly required where a main supply and an alternative supply, such as a generator or standby feed, must be selected safely and clearly.

The OT160E03CP uses open transition operation, meaning the first supply is disconnected before the second supply is connected. This helps prevent source overlap and supports safe manual transfer switching in industrial and commercial low voltage power systems.

Typical Applications

  • Generator changeover panels.
  • Main and standby power supply selection.
  • Industrial distribution boards.
  • Control panels and switchboards.
  • Low voltage power distribution systems.
  • Machinery and plant supply transfer applications.
