Why Choose the Lovato GE0400E Changeover Switch?

The Lovato GE0400E is a heavy-duty three-pole changeover switch designed for reliable manual source transfer and circuit isolation in low-voltage industrial electrical systems. As part of the Lovato GE switch disconnector range, it is suitable for control panels, distribution boards, generator changeover systems and machinery applications requiring dependable switching between two supply sources.

This changeover switch provides stable I-0-II switching positions, enabling safe selection between two circuits while maintaining a clear off position. Its robust industrial construction makes it a practical choice for panel builders, electrical contractors and maintenance engineers working with high-current three-phase AC installations.

With a rated current of 400 A and a three-pole AC configuration, the GE0400E is ideal for demanding three-phase power distribution and source transfer applications. The screw-on-plate mounting format enables secure installation inside electrical enclosures and switchgear assemblies.
