ABB 1SCA151744R1001 OXB500E3X3QB 500A 3P 42kA Automatic Transfer Switch

Carrying catalog designation OXB500E3X3QB, the ABB 1SCA151744R1001 is a 500 A TruONE automatic transfer switch rated for 3-pole, two-source switching duty at 200-480 V AC. A Level 3 LCD controller manages the delayed I-O-II transition, and the open-style unit carries a 42 kA Icw short-time withstand rating with bottom-fed line terminals.

Selection Notes

The 3-pole configuration switches only the phase conductors and leaves the neutral solid, which fits three-wire distribution or installations where the neutral is bonded elsewhere and does not need to follow the transfer; pick the 4-pole (S) version instead when the system requires the neutral to open with the phases. The Level 3 controller adds a built-in LCD for on-device transfer-parameter setup and status readout, useful where a technician needs to confirm settings without a separate laptop or HMI. Bottom-fed line terminals (QB) suit panels wired with incoming supply below the switch; pick the QT variant instead when busbars feed in from above. For higher continuous-current duty, the 630 A frame in the same OXB TruONE range covers loads this 500 A unit does not.
