Lovato GA016AV235 is a 3-pole 16 A GA series switch disconnector for industrial electrical isolation, based on the compact GA016 platform with direct operation and compatibility with door-coupling accessories.
£20.84
The Lovato GA016AV235 is a 3-pole 16 A switch disconnector from Lovato Electric's GA series, designed for reliable isolation and switching of three-phase electrical circuits. The GA016 platform combines compact dimensions with robust switching performance for industrial machinery, distribution panels and electrical control equipment.
The GA016 platform supports direct operation and door-coupled operation, allowing the switch body to be installed on a mounting plate or 35 mm DIN rail and, where required, operated from the enclosure door using the appropriate Lovato handle and shaft-extension accessories. This flexibility makes it suitable for panel designs where the switching device and external operator need to be mechanically coupled.
With a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 16 A, rated insulation voltage of 1000 V and rated impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV, the GA016 platform is designed for demanding industrial applications. It is rated at 16 A in AC-21A, AC-22A and AC-23A utilisation categories up to 690 V, providing strong switching capability in a compact three-pole package.
Switch disconnectors provide a deliberate mechanical means of switching and isolating electrical circuits. In industrial machinery and control panels, a three-pole device such as the GA016 platform can simultaneously disconnect the three phases of a compatible supply, providing a defined switching point for equipment operation, servicing and maintenance.
The GA series can also be configured for door-coupled operation. In this arrangement, the switch remains mounted inside the enclosure while a compatible external handle operates it through a shaft extension. This arrangement provides convenient operation from outside the panel while retaining the compact switch body internally. The correct Lovato handle, shaft and associated accessories should be selected for the enclosure and application.
