The Lovato GLD0315T2C3 is a high-performance two-pole DC switch disconnector for photovoltaic applications, designed to provide reliable switching and isolation of high-voltage direct-current circuits. As part of the Lovato GLD switch disconnector series, it is specifically engineered for photovoltaic installations and other demanding DC power systems requiring dependable electrical isolation.
This switch disconnector combines a high current capacity with a compact, versatile design suitable for direct operation or door-coupled operation with the appropriate handle and shaft accessories. It can be mounted by screws onto a plate or installed on a 35 mm DIN rail, providing flexibility for integration into photovoltaic distribution boards, combiner equipment and industrial DC control panels.
With an IEC conventional free-air thermal current of 315 A and a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V, the GLD0315T2C3 is rated at 315 A DC-21B at 600–800 V DC and 250 A DC-21B at 1000 V DC. It is also rated for DCPV-1 photovoltaic duty at 315 A up to 800 V DC, making it a robust isolation solution for high-power PV installations.
DC switch disconnectors such as the Lovato GLD0315T2C3 provide a dependable means of disconnecting and isolating high-voltage DC circuits. In photovoltaic installations, effective DC isolation is particularly important because solar arrays can continue producing voltage whenever sufficient light is present, making appropriately rated switching equipment essential for safe system operation and maintenance.
The GLD series is designed specifically for demanding photovoltaic applications. The GLD0315T2C3 combines DCPV-1 suitability with high DC-21B switching ratings, a 1000 V insulation rating and flexible mounting options, allowing it to be integrated into modern solar distribution equipment, DC panels and other high-current DC systems.
