Why Choose the Lovato GA016C Switch Disconnector?

The Lovato GA016C is a compact and reliable three-pole switch disconnector designed for safe manual isolation and load switching in industrial control panels, machinery and electrical distribution systems. As part of the Lovato GA series, it provides dependable AC switching performance in a practical door-mounted format.

This model is rated at 16 A and is suitable for low-voltage AC circuits where positive disconnection is required. Its door-mount version allows the operating handle to be positioned at the enclosure door, making it ideal for machinery panels and control cabinets where operator access and safe isolation are important.

With a 3-pole configuration, screw terminal connections and compact construction, the GA016C is well suited to three-phase isolation duties, main switch applications and local disconnecting points in industrial installations.

  • Three-pole switch disconnector for AC isolation and load switching.
  • 16 A current rating for compact industrial applications.
  • Door-mount version for convenient enclosure operation.
  • Suitable for three-phase machinery and control panel isolation.
  • Screw terminal connections for secure wiring.
  • Compact Lovato GA series design for professional panel building.

Key Features

  • Lovato GA series switch disconnector.
  • GA016C door-mount version.
  • 3-pole switching for three-phase circuits.

Reliable Door-Mounted Isolation for Industrial Panels

Switch disconnectors such as the Lovato GA016C provide a dependable method of manually isolating electrical circuits for operation, servicing and maintenance. Its three-pole arrangement supports safe disconnection of three-phase AC supplies in machinery and panel installations.

The door-mounted configuration is especially useful where the operator must control the isolator from outside the enclosure. This supports safer panel operation while keeping live components contained within the cabinet.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control panels and switchboards.
  • Three-phase machinery isolation.
  • Main switch and local disconnecting applications.
  • Electrical distribution cabinets.
  • Motor control and automation panels.
  • OEM machinery and panel building projects.
