£1,214.03
The Lovato GLCMB0160D024 is a robust motorised three-pole changeover switch designed for automatic transfer between two independent power sources in commercial, industrial and critical infrastructure applications. Built in accordance with IEC/EN/BS 60947-3 and IEC/EN/BS 60947-6-1, it provides dependable switching for standby generators, UPS installations and automatic transfer switch (ATS) systems.
As part of the proven Lovato GLCM series, the GLCMB0160D024 combines reliable motorised operation with a durable switching mechanism capable of handling demanding power distribution applications. Its compact design enables straightforward installation within switchboards while providing long-term operational reliability.
With a 160 A IEC conventional free-air thermal current (Ith), 24 V DC motor operating voltage and three-pole configuration, this changeover switch is ideally suited to automatic transfer systems where uninterrupted power availability is essential.
The GLCMB0160D024 uses a motor-driven break-before-make switching mechanism to safely transfer loads between two independent electrical supplies. During operation the switch disconnects the active source before connecting the alternative supply, preventing the two power sources from being paralleled.
Its 24 V DC motor supply makes it particularly suitable for generator controllers and ATS systems that utilise battery-backed control circuits, providing dependable operation during mains power failures.
