Why Choose the Lovato GLCMB0160T4D024 Motorised Changeover Switch?

The Lovato GLCMB0160T4D024 is a robust motorised four-pole changeover switch engineered for automatic transfer between two independent power sources in commercial, industrial and critical infrastructure applications. As part of the trusted Lovato GLCM motorised changeover switch series, it delivers dependable performance for automatic transfer switch (ATS) panels, standby generator installations and low-voltage power distribution systems.

Equipped with an integrated 24 V DC motor operator, this changeover switch enables reliable remote operation through PLCs, automatic transfer controllers and building management systems. Automated switching helps minimise downtime, improve operational safety and maintain uninterrupted power to essential equipment.

With a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 160 A, a four-pole switching configuration and suitability for electrical systems up to 690 V AC, the GLCMB0160T4D024 is ideal for installations where all three phases and the neutral conductor must be switched. Its robust construction and compliance with recognised IEC standards ensure dependable long-term performance in demanding environments.
