Reliable Door-Mounted Isolation for Industrial Panels
Switch disconnectors such as the Lovato GA016C provide a dependable method of manually isolating electrical circuits for operation, servicing and maintenance. Its three-pole arrangement supports safe disconnection of three-phase AC supplies in machinery and panel installations.
The door-mounted configuration is especially useful where the operator must control the isolator from outside the enclosure. This supports safer panel operation while keeping live components contained within the cabinet.
Typical Applications
Industrial control panels and switchboards.
Three-phase machinery isolation.
Main switch and local disconnecting applications.
Electrical distribution cabinets.
Motor control and automation panels.
OEM machinery and panel building projects.
