IPD offers ABB’s manual bypass switches which are the optimum solution for bypassing the load when the installation space is very limited. The switches are manually operated, and the range goes from 160 to 800 Amperes, compliant with globally recognised standards (IEC 60947-3). A manual bypass switch is beneficial as it allows service and isolation for safety purposes without loss of power to the load.

Conventionally, bypass switches are built by using individual switch disconnectors and conversion kits. ABB’s manual bypass switch solution consists of one single device without conversion kits which saves installation space and cost. Safe maintenance of equipment while the load is being supplied directly from the source is achieved as ABB’s bypass switches fulfill isolating requirements without additional devices thus ensuring safety and reliability.

GLOBALLY COMPLIANT MANUAL BYPASS STANDARDS

ABB’s manual bypass switches are available in 4 pole open and closed transition. Its black plastic IP65 pistol handle and pistol handle extension ensure smooth manual operation and leaves a small footprint. The closed transition switches have overlapping contacts and optional bridging bars. The handle extension is snap on mounted on the standard handle for manual operation. The handle extension shall be removed when padlocking the standard handle for safety purposes.
