Why Choose the Lovato GLCMB0250T4D024 Motorised Changeover Switch?

The Lovato GLCMB0250T4D024 is a heavy-duty 250 A four-pole motorised changeover switch designed to automatically transfer electrical loads between two independent power sources. As part of the proven Lovato GLCM motorised changeover switch range, it provides dependable automatic switching for standby generator systems, automatic transfer switch (ATS) panels and industrial power distribution applications.

This model incorporates an integrated 24 V DC motor operator, making it ideal for use with DC-powered control systems, PLCs and automatic transfer controllers. The motorised mechanism enables fast, reliable remote operation while helping minimise downtime and maintain continuity of supply to critical electrical loads.

With a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 250 A, a four-pole switching configuration and suitability for systems up to 690 V AC, the GLCMB0250T4D024 is designed for installations where complete isolation of all three phases and the neutral conductor is required.

Key Advantages

  • Motorised four-pole changeover switch for automatic source transfer.
  • 250 A IEC thermal current rating for demanding commercial and industrial applications.
  • 24 V DC motor operator for reliable DC control systems.
  • Four-pole configuration switches phases and neutral simultaneously.
  • Compatible with ATS controllers, PLCs and building management systems.
  • Provides dependable switching between utility, generator and alternative power supplies.
  • Long mechanical operating life with minimal maintenance.
  • Suitable for professional switchboard and panel-building applications.

Key Features

  • Lovato GLCM motorised changeover switch series.
  • 250 A IEC conventional free-air thermal current.
  • Four-pole switching mechanism.
  • 24 V DC motor operating voltage.
  • Motor operating voltage range: 19.2–31.2 V DC.
  • Rated insulation voltage (Ui): 1000 V.
  • Rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp): 12 kV.
  • Mechanical endurance: 20,000 operating cycles.
  • Maximum continuous switching rate: 1 cycle per minute.
  • Complies with IEC/EN/BS 60947-3 and IEC/EN/BS 60947-6-1.

Reliable Automatic Source Transfer

Motorised changeover switches automatically transfer electrical loads between primary and standby power supplies without manual intervention. When combined with a compatible ATS controller, the switch can detect a supply failure, initiate generator operation and transfer the electrical load safely and efficiently.

The four-pole configuration switches all three phase conductors together with the neutral conductor, providing complete isolation between power sources where required by the installation design. This makes the GLCMB0250T4D024 suitable for commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, healthcare environments, data centres and critical infrastructure.

Typical Applications

  • Automatic transfer switch (ATS) systems.
  • Mains-to-generator changeover panels.
  • Industrial power distribution.
  • Commercial buildings.
  • Data centres.
  • Hospitals and healthcare facilities.
  • Utilities and infrastructure.
  • OEM electrical control panels.
  • Emergency and standby power systems.
