Disconnect switch INV160 160A 3P 31164

Three-pole 160A disconnecting switch – reliable power disconnection

This disconnecting switch from Schneider Electric is a robust and safe solution for disconnecting electrical circuits. Designed to operate at voltages up to 690V and currents of 160A, it provides effective isolation and protection of the installation. It is a key element in power distribution systems, enabling safe maintenance and service work.

#### Design and application

The disconnecting switch is designed for mounting on a plate, in distribution boards, and frontally in the center. Equipped with a long rotating handle, it provides convenient and intuitive operation. The locking mechanism increases safety by preventing accidental opening of the circuit during operation. Its construction as a permanently mounted device guarantees stability and durability of operation for a long time. It can be used as a main or repair switch, making it a versatile tool in the hands of an installer.

#### Key features and benefits

* **High short-circuit resistance:** The rated conditional short-circuit current Iq is 36 kA, which provides protection against the effects of sudden overvoltages.

* **Universal mounting:** Possibility of mounting on a plate, in distribution boards and frontally in the center facilitates integration with various electrical systems.

* **Safety of use:** The locking mechanism minimizes the risk of accidental opening of the circuit during operation, and the IP40 degree of protection prevents access to dangerous elements.

* **High rated power:** The rated power for AC-23 at 400 V is 75 kW, which allows for use in demanding industrial and commercial applications.

* **Durability and reliability:** Made of high-quality materials, it guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation.

* **Adapted to different conditions:** It can be used as a main and repair switch, which increases its usefulness.

* **Screw connection:** Ensures a secure and durable connection of wires.

#### Technical parameters in practice

The INV160 disconnecting switch is characterized by a solid construction and precise workmanship. Its dimensions (140 mm wide, 136 mm high and 96 mm deep) allow for easy adaptation to existing electrical infrastructure. The availability of two switchable auxiliary contacts enables integration with control and signaling systems. The rated continuous current Iu at 160 A and the rated short-time withstand current Icw of 8.5 kA guarantee safe operation even in difficult operating conditions.
