Why Choose the ABB 1SCA162740R1001 OTC30G3-4BS Change-Over Switch?

The ABB 1SCA162740R1001, also known as the OTC30G3-4BS, is a high-quality 30 A 4-pole manual change-over switch designed for the safe transfer of electrical loads between two independent power sources. As part of the ABB OT Plus Change-Over Switch range, it provides dependable performance for generator change-over systems, industrial control panels, commercial buildings and OEM machinery.

The OTC30G3-4BS features a front-operated I-0-II switching mechanism with positive break-before-make operation, ensuring safe isolation between incoming power supplies. It supports both base mounting and DIN rail mounting, while the supplied padlockable direct-mounted operating handle helps support lockout procedures during maintenance. IP20 protected front terminal clamps improve installation safety.
