Load break switch ETI SV 316 3P 16A (2423321)

The ETI SV 316 load break switch is designed for switching electrical circuits and for manual switching on and off of load in distribution switchboards. It is used in electrical supply systems where it is necessary to disconnect or connect a circuit manually, without automatic protection against overload or short circuit. This makes the device suitable for incoming and distribution assemblies, as well as for control panels in residential, commercial, and industrial installations. The model is built in a 3-pole version, which means it is intended for simultaneous switching of three conductors. This configuration is practical for three-phase circuits and for other electrical schemes where several lines must be disconnected at the same time. The rated current of 16A defines the permissible load during operation and indicates that the switch is appropriate for circuits with moderate current consumption. In such applications, it provides a clear and controlled way to isolate a line or a group of consumers. As a load break switch, the ETI SV 316 performs the function of a mechanical switching device rather than a protective one. Its main purpose is to ensure visible and controlled circuit separation during maintenance, repair, or changes in wiring configuration. In distribution switchboards, this type of apparatus is often used as a local disconnecting element, allowing a section of the network to be safely separated from the power source when needed. The device is intended for installation in distribution boards, where compact layout, straightforward switching logic, and compatibility with standard switchboard equipment are important. The combination of 3 poles and 16A nominal current makes the SV 316 a practical solution for technical systems that require manual power control with reliable circuit disconnection and without additional protection functions.
