Lovato GA080ET6 is a three-pole 80 A assembled AC change-over switch with 1000 V insulation voltage and screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting for industrial and commercial power switching applications.
£167.28
The Lovato GA080ET6 is a robust three-pole 80 A assembled change-over switch designed for manual switching between two electrical supplies or circuits in industrial and commercial power distribution systems. As part of the Lovato GA switch disconnector series, it provides dependable AC switching for control panels, switchboards, machinery and power distribution equipment.
The GA080ET6 provides three-pole switching with an IEC conventional free-air thermal current rating of 80 A. Its industrial electrical characteristics include a 1000 V rated insulation voltage, 8 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and utilisation ratings covering AC-21A, AC-22A and AC-23A applications.
For AC-21A and AC-22A duties, the GA080ET6 is rated at 80 A from 400–690 V AC. Under AC-23A conditions it is rated at 80 A at 400 V AC, 63 A at 500 V AC and 47 A at 690 V AC. Installation is flexible, with the switch suitable for screw mounting onto a plate or installation on a 35 mm DIN rail.
Change-over switches allow an electrical load or circuit to be manually transferred between two power sources or switching paths. The Lovato GA080ET6 combines three-pole operation with robust industrial AC utilisation ratings, making it suitable for distribution and machinery applications where reliable manual change-over control is required.
The GA series is designed for professional electrical installations and provides high switching capacity, substantial terminal capacity and flexible mounting. With AC-21A, AC-22A and AC-23A ratings, the GA080ET6 can accommodate duties ranging from resistive loads to mixed and highly inductive electrical loads.
