Why Choose the Lovato 7GN4010O98 Rotary Cam Switch?
The Lovato 7GN4010O98 is a robust three-pole ON/OFF rotary cam switch designed for reliable switching and isolation in industrial electrical control systems. Part of the Lovato 7GN rotary cam switch series, it uses switching diagram 10 and provides a conventional free air thermal current rating of 40 A.
Designed for rear mounting, the 7GN4010O98 features a red/yellow handle that can be padlocked in the 0 position, together with door coupling and protection covers. This configuration makes it particularly suitable for machinery and electrical panels where a clearly identifiable and lockable control or isolation point is required.
The switch has a 65 × 65 mm front plate and provides IP40 frontal protection. Its electrical characteristics include a rated insulation voltage of 690 V according to IEC/EN, a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV and an AC-1/AC-21A operational current rating of 40 A.
