£77.73
The Lovato 7GN4010O78 is a robust 40 A three-pole rotary cam ON/OFF switch designed for dependable manual switching and isolation in industrial machinery, control panels and electrical distribution systems. As part of the Lovato 7GN rotary cam switch series, it uses switching scheme 10 and provides two stable 0-1 operating positions.
The 7GN4010O78 uses Lovato's O78 rear-mounting configuration with a door-coupling system. This arrangement allows the switching mechanism to be mounted on the back plate or panel while providing rotary operation from the enclosure door, making it particularly suitable for industrial switchboards and machine control cabinets.
With a rated continuous current of 40 A and a rated operational power of 15 kW at AC-3, 400 V, the 7GN4010O78 provides robust switching performance for industrial applications. The switch incorporates two wafers, screw-connected main circuit terminals and a door-coupled rotary operating mechanism.
Rotary cam switches provide a direct mechanical method of controlling electrical circuits. Their positive rotary action gives operators clear manual control, making them suitable for industrial machinery, switchboards and electrical control systems requiring dependable ON/OFF switching.
The Lovato 7GN4010O78 combines three-pole switching with a rear-mounted door-coupling arrangement. This enables the switching mechanism to remain inside the enclosure while providing convenient operation from the door, making it a practical solution for machine control cabinets and industrial electrical panels.
