Reliable Changeover Switching for Power Distribution

Changeover switches provide controlled selection between two electrical sources or circuits, making them important components in power distribution and transfer applications. The four-pole architecture of the Lovato GLC0100T4C1UL enables simultaneous switching across four conductors within a single coordinated device.

The GLC series is designed for industrial electrical installations requiring robust isolation and switching performance. Its high insulation rating, short-circuit capability and mechanical endurance make the GLC0100T4C1UL suitable for integration into switchboards, distribution panels and source-transfer assemblies.

Typical Applications

  • Power source changeover and transfer systems.
  • Industrial electrical switchboards.
  • Main and standby supply selection.
  • Generator and mains changeover systems.
  • Commercial and industrial power distribution panels.
  • Machinery and automation power distribution systems.
