The Lovato GLCMB0160E110 is a high-performance motorised three-pole changeover switch designed for automatic transfer between two independent power sources in commercial, industrial and critical infrastructure applications. Manufactured in accordance with IEC/EN/BS 60947-3 and IEC/EN/BS 60947-6-1, it provides reliable switching between utility and standby supplies, making it ideal for automatic transfer switch (ATS) systems, standby generators and essential power distribution installations.
As part of the trusted Lovato GLCM series, the GLCMB0160E110 combines a durable switching mechanism with a dependable motor drive for rapid and controlled source transfer. Its compact design enables straightforward installation into switchboards while delivering long-term operational reliability in demanding environments.
Featuring a 160 A IEC conventional free-air thermal current (Ith), a three-pole configuration and a 110–125 V AC/DC motor operating voltage, this motorised changeover switch is ideally suited for applications requiring dependable automatic transfer between mains and backup power supplies.
The GLCMB0160E110 uses a motor-driven break-before-make operating mechanism to safely transfer electrical loads between two independent power supplies. During every switching sequence, the connected load is disconnected from the active source before the alternative source is connected, preventing both supplies from being connected simultaneously.
Its 110–125 V AC/DC motor supply makes it suitable for installations using either AC or DC control circuits, while its robust switching performance and long mechanical endurance ensure dependable operation in critical power applications.
