The Lovato GAZM160ET8 is a heavy-duty enclosed four-pole line changeover switch designed for safe manual transfer between two independent AC power sources. As part of the Lovato GAZM enclosed changeover switch range, it provides reliable I-0-II source selection for industrial power distribution, standby generator systems and commercial electrical installations.
Supplied in a durable IEC/EN IP65 metal enclosure with a black rotary handle, the GAZM160ET8 is built for demanding environments where secure local operation and dependable switching performance are essential. Its enclosed construction helps protect the switching mechanism while enabling safe, visible manual changeover between supply sources.
With a rated current of 160 A, a 4-pole configuration and an I-0-II operating sequence, the GAZM160ET8 is ideal for three-phase plus neutral changeover applications, including mains-to-generator transfer, dual incoming supply selection and critical power switching duties.
The Lovato GAZM160ET8 allows operators to manually select between two incoming power supplies while providing a secure central OFF position for isolation. This makes it suitable for installations where controlled transfer between mains, standby generator or alternative supply sources is required.
Its four-pole switching arrangement enables simultaneous disconnection and transfer of three phases plus neutral, supporting safer changeover operation in industrial and commercial low-voltage distribution systems.
