Load break switch ETI SV 180 1P 80A (2423115)

This ETI SV 180 load break switch is intended for switching electrical circuits under load in distribution boards and other electrical installations. It is used where a line must be manually connected or disconnected without providing protective functions, making it suitable for circuit isolation during maintenance, local shutdown of equipment, or operational switching of power circuits. The device is applicable in industrial, commercial, and technical power supply systems where clear and reliable circuit disconnection is required. The model has 1 pole, so it is designed for single-phase or single-conductor switching configurations according to the electrical project. The rated current is 80A, which defines the load level for which the switch is intended. This parameter is important when selecting equipment for main or group disconnection, as the device must correspond to the working current of the line it controls. As a load break switch, the unit functions as a mechanical switching device for separating an electrical circuit from the power source. Unlike protective modular devices, it does not trip on overload or short circuit; its purpose is manual switching and isolation. This makes it a practical element for switchgear assemblies, where power must be disconnected from individual sections of the network or from equipment that requires periodic shutdown. The SV 180 series belongs to ETI’s product range, which supports consistent selection of components within one line of equipment. In project planning and installation, the key point is to match the switch to its intended operating role: it is used for control and disconnection, not for circuit protection. With a 1-pole construction and 80A current rating, this device is suitable for applications requiring straightforward control of a single power line in distribution systems.
