• ON Position (Source 1/Load 1): Moving the handle to one ON position connects power to the first source or load.
• ON Position (Source 2/Load 2): Moving the handle to the other ON position connects power to the second source or load.
• Stellen Sie stets sicher, dass der Schalter in der gewünschten Position vollständig eingerastet ist.

5. Wartung

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and safe operation of your ABB OT100F3C Disconnect Switch. Perform these checks with power disconnected.
