It includes a black plastic IP65 I-0-II pistol type handle, shaft and bolt set for cable connection, making it ready for base mounting in distribution panels. With door interlock in the I and II positions and padlocking capability in the 0-position, it is a reliable choice for backup power switching in UAE commercial and industrial facilities where generator changeover is common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e160A rated 3-pole manual change-over switch for reliable source-to-source load transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65 pistol type I-0-II handle providing dust and moisture resistance, well suited to UAE ambient conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoor interlock in the I- and II- positions plus padlocking in the 0-position for enhanced operator safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated insulation voltage of 1000V and impulse withstand voltage of 12kV for robust electrical protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine ABB quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOT160E03CP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3P\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Operational Current (AC-23A)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160A (380–415V \/ 500V \/ 690V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Operational Voltage (Main Circuit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Insulation Voltage (Ui)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Impulse Withstand Voltage (Uimp)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 kV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Short-time Withstand Current (Icw)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 kA for 1s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDegree of Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront IP20 (handle IP65)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePistol type I-0-II, black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase mounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrew Terminals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransition Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePollution Degree\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.1 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManual transfer between mains and standby generator supply in commercial buildings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power switching for FM-managed facilities across the UAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSource changeover in industrial panels requiring door-interlocked safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLoad transfer switching in retail, hospitality, and residential tower distribution boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an MCB or an isolator?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's an isolator (switch-disconnector), not an MCB.
