ABB OT125F3 3-Pole 125A Switch Disconnector
The OT125F3 is a 3-pole, front-operated switch disconnector rated at 125A, suitable for both base and DIN-rail mounting. Built with front-protected clamp terminals for safe installation, it provides reliable local isolation for distribution circuits and machinery in commercial and industrial panel builds across the UAE.
Key Features
- 3-pole switch disconnector rated up to 125A (AC-21A) for flexible use across single and three-phase circuits
- Front-protected clamp terminals accepting cable cross-sections from 10 to 70 mm² for secure, safe wiring
- Mechanical durability of 20,000 operating cycles for long-term reliability in frequent-switching applications
- Compact base/DIN-rail mounting design suited to space-constrained distribution boards and enclosures
- Genuine ABB quality — manufactured in Finland to IEC 60947-3 standards

FAQ
-
Is this an MCB or an isolator?
It's an isolator (switch-disconnector), not an MCB. It has no overload or short-circuit protection — it only provides a manual on/off disconnect, and should be paired with separate MCBs or RCCBs for circuit protection.
-
Where should this isolator be installed?
Typically as the main incoming switch or a local isolation point ahead of the MCBs/RCCBs in a distribution board, so the whole board (or a section of it) can be isolated for maintenance without needing to trip individual breakers.
-
Can I install this myself?
No. This is trade-only distribution board equipment and must be installed and connected by a licensed electrician in accordance with local wiring regulations.
-
Can this isolator be used to switch a live circuit under load?
Isolators rated for on-load switching can do this within their utilisation category, but check the specific AC rating in the Technical Specifications table — an isolator is not a protective device and should not substitute for a circuit breaker.
