Connections
This section covers the electrical connections for the OT_C series switches. It illustrates how to connect power sources and loads to the terminals.
For OT3200_C, connection diagrams show terminal layouts and spacing (e.g., 50 mm).
Accessories
A range of accessories are available to enhance the functionality and installation of the OT_C series switches.
Terminal Clamp Sets (OZX_)
Various terminal clamp sets are offered for IEC and UL standards, supporting different current ratings and wire gauges. Examples include OZXB series for IEC and OZXA series for UL applications.
Specific OZX model compatibility with switch series is detailed in the original document.
Bridging Bars (OTZC_)
Bridging bars are used to connect terminals, facilitating specific switching configurations. Different types (e.g., OTZC13, OTZC14 for OT_100-250_C_) are available for various current ratings (630A, 800A) and switch models.
Reversing Bars (OTZR_)
Reversing bars (e.g., OTZR1, OTZR2, OTZR3) are designed for specific reversing operations in manual change-over configurations.
Auxiliary Contacts (OA_)
Auxiliary contacts (e.g., OA 1G10, OA 3G01) provide additional signaling or control capabilities. They are available for different switch types (OT_C, OT_CF, OT_CL) and can be configured for maximum contact arrangements.

Handles, Direct Mounting (OTV_)
Direct mounting handles (e.g., OTV250ECK, OTV400ECK, OTV800ECK, OTV1000ECK, OTV3200ECK) are available for various OT_C models. Installation requires specific torque (e.g., TX8 0.8 Nm, TX20 1.8 Nm) and may involve locking mechanisms.
Protection against direct contact is recommended when installing handles.
Clearances per UL98
The document specifies clearances required by the UL98 standard for safe installation. This includes minimum enclosure sizes and clearances between components.
