The ABB OT16F3 is a compact and highly reliable 3-pole switch disconnector designed for the safe isolation and switching of low-voltage electrical circuits. As part of the proven ABB OT Series, it provides dependable manual isolation for industrial control panels, machinery, switchboards and power distribution systems where safety and reliability are essential.
The OT16F3 features a front-operated, base-mounted design and can also be DIN rail mounted, making it suitable for a wide range of panel building applications. Protected clamp terminals provide secure cable connections, while the modular construction simplifies installation and allows the switch to be configured with compatible handles and shafts sold separately.
With a 16 A operational current, 3-pole configuration and support for voltages up to 750 V AC, the ABB OT16F3 is ideal for motor isolation, machinery disconnecting and general-purpose switching duties in commercial and industrial electrical installations. The operating handle and shaft are supplied separately, allowing flexibility for enclosure-mounted installations.
