Why Choose the Lovato GE0400ET4 Changeover Switch?
The Lovato GE0400ET4 is a heavy-duty four-pole changeover switch designed for reliable manual source transfer and circuit isolation in low-voltage industrial electrical systems. As part of the Lovato GE switch disconnector range, it is suitable for control panels, distribution boards, switchgear assemblies and generator changeover applications requiring dependable switching between two supply sources.
This changeover switch provides stable I-0-II switching positions, allowing safe selection between two circuits while maintaining a clear off position. Its robust construction makes it a practical choice for panel builders, electrical contractors and maintenance engineers working with high-current three-phase and neutral AC installations.
With a rated conventional free air thermal current of 400 A and a four-pole AC configuration, the GE0400ET4 is ideal for applications requiring isolation of all live conductors, including neutral. The screw-on-plate mounting format enables secure installation inside electrical enclosures and industrial switchboards.

Reliable Manual Source Transfer for Industrial Panels
Changeover switches such as the Lovato GE0400ET4 are used to manually transfer electrical loads between two supply sources, such as mains and generator feeds, while providing a central off position for safe isolation. This makes them essential for distribution systems where controlled source selection is required.
The four-pole design is particularly useful where neutral isolation is required in addition to the three phase conductors. Its screw-on-plate installation and GE series construction make the GE0400ET4 a dependable choice for industrial panel building, switchgear integration and high-current manual transfer systems.
Typical Applications
Manual mains and generator changeover systems.
Industrial electrical control panels.
Low-voltage distribution boards.
Four-pole source transfer circuits.
Three-phase and neutral power distribution systems.
Switchgear and panel-building assemblies.
