Isolating switch 8-pole 160 A in polycarbonate housing RSI-8160\OBP

Isolating switch – reliable power disconnection

The RSI-8160\OBP isolating switch is a robust device designed for the safe disconnection of electrical circuits. Equipped with 8 poles and capable of operating with a current of 160 A, it is a key element in installations requiring high reliability and safety. The housing made of polycarbonate ensures durability and resistance to mechanical damage, as well as good insulation.

Construction and application

The device is used to create a safe cut-off point in the electrical installation, allowing the power to be switched off for maintenance, repair or emergency work. Its design allows for mounting on a plate, making it easy to integrate with existing distribution boards. Thanks to the possibility of use as an emergency switch and main switch, it finds wide application both in industrial installations and in public buildings. The locking mechanism (none) and the lack of a built-in motor drive ensure ease of operation and reliable performance.

Key features and benefits

• High resistance to environmental conditions: The polycarbonate housing (IP20 protection class on the front side) protects against the effects of dust and moisture, ensuring long-term operation even in difficult conditions.
• High short-circuit breaking capacity: The rated short-circuit current Icm is 10 kA, which guarantees effective protection of the installation against the effects of short circuits.
• Wide range of operating voltages: The ability to operate at a maximum voltage of 690 V AC makes the switch universal and can be used in different types of installations.
• Suitable for cables with large cross-section: The possibility of connecting cables with a cross-section of 25-70 mm² provides flexibility when selecting appropriate cables.
• Safety of use: The emergency switch function allows for quick and effective disconnection of power in hazardous situations.
• Durable construction: Made of high-quality materials guarantees long service life of the device (mechanical durability: 8000 cycles).
• Universal mounting: The possibility of mounting on a plate facilitates integration with existing distribution systems.

Technical parameters in practice

The rated continuous current of 160 A allows for servicing circuits with significant power consumption (up to 30 kW for AC-23 at 400 V). This makes the switch ideal for industrial applications and in buildings with high energy demand. The use of screw connections ensures a secure and durable connection of the wires. The rated conditional short-circuit current Iq of 10 kA demonstrates the high resistance of the device to temporary overloads.
