Why Choose the ABB 1SCA162739R1001 OTC30G3-3BS Change-Over Switch?

The ABB 1SCA162739R1001, also known as the OTC30G3-3BS, is a robust 30 A 3-pole manual change-over switch designed for dependable transfer between two independent electrical power sources. Part of the ABB OT Plus change-over switch range, it is suitable for generator change-over panels, distribution systems, industrial control equipment and OEM machinery.

Its front-operated I-0-II mechanism allows an electrical load to be connected to either of two supplies, with a defined OFF position between them. This break-before-make operation helps prevent the two power sources from being connected simultaneously during manual transfer.

The OTC30G3-3BS features a compact G3 frame, integrated screw terminals and a direct-mounted padlockable knob handle. It supports base mounting and DIN rail installation, while an optional operating shaft can be fitted for external operation through an enclosure door.

Key Advantages

  • Dependable 30 A manual power-source transfer.
  • 3-pole configuration for three-phase electrical systems.
  • Clear I-0-II operating positions.

  • Padlockable direct-mounted operating handle included.

Reliable Manual Power Source Transfer

The ABB OTC30G3-3BS enables an electrical load to be transferred manually between two separate supplies, such as the normal mains source and a standby generator. Its positive I-0-II switching sequence provides a clearly defined OFF position between the two connected sources.

The three-pole arrangement is designed for switching three-phase conductors simultaneously. Its compact construction and flexible mounting options make it suitable for both new panel designs and replacement applications where dependable manual source selection is required.

Typical Applications

  • Mains-to-generator change-over panels.
  • Three-phase standby power systems.
