Why Choose the Lovato GLX421000 Fourth Pole Add-On?

The Lovato GLX421000 is a dedicated fourth-pole add-on designed for the Lovato GL1000C1 1000 A switch disconnector. It allows a compatible three-pole GL switch disconnector to be configured with a fourth power pole while maintaining simultaneous closing operation with the main switch poles.

Designed as part of the Lovato GL switch disconnector accessory range, the GLX421000 provides the same substantial electrical capability required by the 1000 A frame. Its IEC conventional free-air thermal current Ith is 1000 A, with AC-21A, AC-22A and AC-23A operational current ratings of 1000 A at 400, 500 and 690 V AC.

The fourth pole has a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 12 kV. Heavy-duty M12 × 40 terminals and a mechanical endurance of 5000 operating cycles make it a robust matched accessory for high-current industrial switchboards and power distribution assemblies.

Key Advantages

  • Purpose-designed fourth pole for the Lovato GL1000C1 switch disconnector.
  • 1000 A conventional free-air thermal current rating.
  • Simultaneous closing operation with the main switch disconnector poles.
  • 1000 A AC-21A, AC-22A and AC-23A operational current at up to 690 V AC.
  • High 1000 V insulation voltage and 12 kV impulse withstand capability.
  • Allows a compatible three-pole GL1000C1 assembly to be expanded with a fourth power pole.

Key Features

  • Lovato GLX / GL switch disconnector accessory.
  • Single add-on fourth power pole.
  • Compatible with the GL1000C1 1000 A switch disconnector.
  • 1000 A IEC conventional free-air thermal current Ith at ≤40 °C.
  • 1000 A AC-23A operational current at 400, 500 and 690 V AC.
  • 560 kW AC-23A operational power at 400 V AC.
  • 800 kW AC-23A operational power at 690 V AC.
  • 5000-cycle mechanical endurance.
  • M12 × 40 power terminals for heavy-duty conductor connections.

Reliable Four-Pole Switching for High-Current Distribution

The Lovato GLX421000 provides a practical way to add a fourth switched power pole to a compatible GL1000C1 switch disconnector. The additional pole operates simultaneously with the existing switch disconnector poles, creating a coordinated four-pole switching arrangement for applications where an additional conductor must be disconnected with the main circuit.

With its 1000 A thermal and operational current capability, high insulation rating and heavy-duty terminals, the GLX421000 is engineered to complement the electrical performance of the GL1000C1 rather than functioning as a separate standalone switching device.

Typical Applications

  • Lovato GL1000C1 switch disconnector assemblies.
  • Four-pole industrial power isolation systems.
  • High-current electrical switchboards.
  • Main incoming and outgoing distribution panels.
  • Industrial machinery power distribution.
  • Commercial and industrial low-voltage switchgear assemblies.
