Why Choose the Lovato GLCMB0315A230 Motorised Changeover Switch?

The Lovato GLCMB0315A230 is a high-performance motorised three-pole changeover switch engineered for automatic transfer between two power sources in industrial and commercial electrical installations. As part of the reliable Lovato GLCM motorised changeover switch series, it delivers dependable switching performance for critical power distribution, generator changeover and automatic transfer applications.

Designed with an integrated 208-277 V AC motor operator, this switch enables remote operation through automatic transfer controllers, PLCs and building management systems. Its motorised mechanism improves operational safety, reduces manual intervention and helps maintain continuity of electrical supply during source transfer.

With a conventional thermal current rating of 315 A, a three-pole switching configuration and operation on systems up to 690 V AC, the GLCMB0315A230 is ideally suited to demanding low-voltage power distribution systems. Manufactured to recognised IEC standards, it provides long-term reliability in challenging industrial environments.
