Lovato GA080D is a direct-operating 3-pole photovoltaic DC switch disconnector with an 80 A conventional thermal current rating, 1000 V insulation voltage and DC-21B switching capability for reliable solar PV and industrial DC isolation.
£152.08
The Lovato GA080D is a robust 3-pole direct-operating switch disconnector designed specifically for photovoltaic and industrial DC applications. Part of the Lovato GA series, it provides dependable manual isolation of DC circuits and is supplied complete with a black operating handle for straightforward installation and operation.
Designed for photovoltaic applications, the GA080D has an IEC conventional free-air thermal current rating of 80 A and supports DC-21B switching with poles connected in series according to the required system voltage. The switch can provide a DC-21B operational current of up to 32 A at 1000 V DC with the appropriate eight-pole series arrangement, making the platform suitable for high-voltage photovoltaic isolation duties.
The GA080D features a 1000 V rated insulation voltage, 8 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and a mechanical endurance of approximately 30,000 cycles. It can be mounted by screws to a plate or on a 35 mm DIN rail, while the operating mechanism can be padlocked in the OFF position without an additional accessory.
Photovoltaic switch disconnectors such as the Lovato GA080D provide a mechanical means of isolating DC circuits so that electrical equipment can be inspected, maintained or serviced. Because photovoltaic arrays can continue producing DC voltage whenever sufficient light is available, switching devices intended for these systems must be specifically designed to interrupt and isolate DC circuits.
The GA080D is engineered for photovoltaic applications and supports series connection of switching poles to achieve the required DC voltage and current performance. Its robust mechanical operating system, high insulation rating and padlockable OFF position make it suitable for PV distribution equipment, combiner systems and industrial DC installations requiring dependable manual isolation.

The Lovato GA080D is designed for manual isolation and disconnection of photovoltaic and industrial DC circuits, particularly where dependable high-voltage DC switching is required.
The GA080D has an IEC conventional free-air thermal current rating of 80 A; its actual DC-21B operational current depends on the system voltage and the number of switching poles connected in series.
The GA080D supports DC-21B ratings including 18 A at 800 V DC with four poles in series, 20 A at 1000 V DC with six poles in series and 32 A at 1000 V DC with eight poles in series.
Yes. The GA080D operating mechanism can be padlocked in the OFF position without requiring an additional padlocking accessory.
The GA080D can be screw-mounted to a plate or installed on a 35 mm DIN rail, providing flexibility for photovoltaic distribution panels and industrial DC equipment.
Lovato Electric GA photovoltaic switch disconnectors provide solar installers, panel builders and electrical engineers with robust DC isolation, flexible installation and dependable switching performance for photovoltaic and industrial DC power systems.
