Why Choose the Lovato 7GN3253U Rotary Cam Switch?

The Lovato 7GN3253U is a robust 32 A three-pole rotary cam changeover switch designed for manual switching in industrial machinery and electrical control applications. As part of the Lovato 7GN rotary cam switch series, it uses switching diagram 53 and is configured for three-pole changeover and two-speed motor starting with separate windings.

The 7GN3253U incorporates three switching elements and uses Lovato's U mounting form for front mounting with a black operating handle. Its 65 × 65 mm front plate provides a practical operator interface for integration into electrical control panels and machinery.

With an IEC conventional free-air thermal current of 32 A, a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, the 7GN3253U provides dependable electrical switching performance. A mechanical life of 5 × 106 cycles supports reliable operation in demanding industrial control applications.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable three-pole rotary cam changeover switch for industrial applications.
  • 32 A IEC conventional free-air thermal current for robust switching duties.
  • Configured for two-speed motor starting with separate windings.
  • Front mounting with a black operating handle for convenient panel operation.
  • Compact 65 × 65 mm front plate for control-panel integration.
  • Long mechanical life of 5 × 106 operating cycles.
