Why Choose the Lovato GLX420500 Fourth Pole Add-On?

The Lovato GLX420500 is a durable fourth pole add-on accessory designed for the Lovato GL0500C1 switch disconnector. It enables compatible switch disconnector assemblies to be expanded for four-pole operation, making it ideal for industrial isolation systems where an additional pole is required.

As part of the Lovato GL switch disconnector accessories range, the GLX420500 provides simultaneous closing operation with the main switch disconnector poles. This ensures coordinated switching across the full assembly, helping panel builders and electrical engineers achieve reliable isolation in demanding low-voltage applications.

With a conventional free air thermal current rating of 500 A, rated insulation voltage of 1000 V and rated impulse withstand voltage of 12 kV, the GLX420500 is well suited to heavy-duty industrial control panels, switchboards and power distribution systems.
