Why Choose the Lovato GLCMB0160T4E110 Motorised Changeover Switch?
The Lovato GLCMB0160T4E110 is a high-performance motorised four-pole changeover switch designed for the automatic transfer of electrical loads between two independent power sources. As part of the dependable Lovato GLCM motorised changeover switch range, it provides reliable operation for automatic transfer switch (ATS) systems, standby generator installations and low-voltage power distribution applications.
Featuring an integrated 110–125 V AC/DC motor operator, the GLCMB0160T4E110 supports remote switching through automatic transfer controllers, PLCs and building management systems. Automated operation helps minimise downtime, improve operational safety and ensure continuous power to critical electrical loads.
With a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 160 A, a four-pole switching configuration and suitability for systems up to 690 V AC, this changeover switch is ideal for applications requiring complete isolation of all three phases and the neutral conductor. Its robust design and compliance with recognised IEC standards make it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial environments.
