Product details
The Europa LBC1603PSNGP transfers a three-phase, four-wire installation between two supplies at up to 160 A in category AC-23. The glass-reinforced polycarbonate enclosure is rated IP66 and is halogen free and UV resistant to UL508, so unlike a painted steel box it can be left outdoors without the finish becoming the weak point.
Key features
- 160 A at 400 V in category AC-23, rated for motor and mixed load switching
- Three poles plus a switched neutral with early make and late break sequencing
- IP66 glass-reinforced polycarbonate enclosure, halogen free and UV resistant to UL508
- Door interlocked, so the enclosure cannot be opened with a supply selected
- Rated 1000 V insulation, 8 kV impulse and 7 kA short-time withstand for one second
Typical applications
The GRPC version is specified where the changeover lives outside or in a corrosive atmosphere: water and sewage pumping stations, coastal and marina installations, quarries, agricultural and horticultural sites, and wash-down areas in food production. It is a common generator connection point on exposed rural sites.
Compliance
Europa lists this range as compliant with EN 60947-1 and EN 60947-3 and carrying Bureau Veritas approval. IP66 means the enclosure is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, a step beyond the IP65 metal-enclosed equivalent and the reason this version is chosen for external and wash-down duty.
