Insulated disconnect switch 6-pole +2N (disconnectable) 160 A for external knob RSI-8160N\W01

Insulating disconnect switch – safety and reliability in your installation

This insulating disconnect switch, with a rated current of 160A, is a key element ensuring safe and efficient disconnection of electrical circuits. Designed for both professional and demanding users, it offers a solid construction and high reliability. Its design allows for mounting on a plate, making it easy to integrate with various distribution systems.

Construction and application

The RSI-8160N\W01 disconnect switch is a fixed device designed for operation in installations with a voltage of up to 690V AC. Its 8 poles (6 poles + 2N) make it an ideal solution for circuits requiring full isolation and safety. Equipped with an external control knob, it allows for easy and intuitive operation. It is a multifunctional device – it serves as a main disconnect switch and an emergency stop switch, increasing its versatility.

Advantages and benefits

• High resistance to environmental conditions: Meets IEC standards for resistance to vibration, shock, damp heat and salt mist – guaranteeing long-lasting and trouble-free operation even in harsh conditions.
• High durability: Designed for 8000 mechanical cycles and 1000 switching cycles, which translates to a long service life.
• Safety of use: As an emergency stop switch, it ensures quick disconnection of power in hazardous situations.
• Universal mounting: Plate mounting allows for easy integration with existing distribution systems.
• Wide range of applications: Suitable for protecting circuits with a current of up to 160A, both in AC and DC applications. The rated operating power for AC-23 is as high as 30 kW at 400V.
• Solid connections: Uses screw connections for main contacts, ensuring a secure and durable connection of conductors with a cross-section from 25 to 70 mm².
• Short-circuit protection: Short-circuit withstand strength up to 10 kA (Icm) provides effective protection of the installation in the event of a short circuit.

Technical parameters in practice

The continuous rated current (Iu) of 160A means that the disconnect switch is adapted to work with loads with high power consumption. The rated conditional short-circuit current (Iq) of 10 kA indicates its ability to withstand short-term overloads without damage. The IP20 degree of protection provides protection against finger contact and against access by small solid objects – important for safety of use. The design of the device allows it to operate in ambient temperatures in accordance with IEC standards, and its high quality of workmanship guarantees long-term reliability.
