UKP-1600F03K 1600A Heavy-Duty Switch Disconnector with Phase Barrier – High-Current 3-Pole Isolator for Industrial Main Switchgear

The UKP-1600F03K is a heavy-duty, 3-pole switch-disconnector rated up to 1600A, built for high-current main isolation duty in large industrial and utility-scale power distribution systems.

It includes integrated phase barriers between poles, adding an extra layer of protection against phase-to-phase flashover and improving creepage/clearance distances for higher safety margins in demanding environments.

The unit mounts via base/screw panel fixing, with the operating handle installed on the front of the switch body for direct indoor operation. Selectable at 1250A or 1600A rated current, it delivers a 1000V rated insulation voltage, 10kV dielectric strength, and 12kV impulse withstand voltage.

Its high-current performance is substantial: up to 16,000A rated making capacity, 12,800A rated breaking capacity, 50kA short-time withstand current (0.25s and 1s at 690V), and a rated short-circuit making capacity of 110kA — making it well suited to heavy industrial loads and large power distribution boards.
