£1,901.00
The Lovato GLCMB0315T4A230 is a heavy-duty 315 A four-pole motorised changeover switch engineered for the automatic transfer of electrical loads between two independent power sources. As part of the trusted Lovato GLCM motorised changeover switch range, it provides dependable switching for automatic transfer switch (ATS) systems, standby generator installations and demanding industrial or commercial power distribution applications.
Equipped with an integrated 208–277 V AC motor operator, the GLCMB0315T4A230 can be controlled remotely using compatible ATS controllers, PLCs and building management systems. Automated switching improves operational safety, minimises downtime and helps maintain continuity of supply to critical electrical equipment.
With a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 315 A, a four-pole switching configuration and suitability for systems up to 690 V AC, this motorised changeover switch is ideal for installations requiring complete isolation of all three phases together with the neutral conductor.
Motorised changeover switches automatically transfer electrical loads between primary and standby power supplies, helping minimise disruption during power failures. When integrated with a compatible ATS controller, the GLCMB0315T4A230 provides safe, automatic and reliable power-source transfer without manual intervention.
The four-pole configuration switches all three phase conductors together with the neutral conductor, ensuring complete electrical isolation between power sources where required. This makes the switch ideal for industrial facilities, commercial buildings, healthcare environments, utilities and other critical infrastructure.
