GA032A - 3P SWITCH 32A-DIRECT/DOOR COUPLING

Why Choose the GA032A?

Lovato GA032A is a three-pole switch disconnector for reliable AC isolation and switching at 32 A. This direct operating version delivers firm, positive actuation and compact panel integration. Rated Ui 1000 V with 8 kV impulse withstand, it suits demanding environments. Mount on 35 mm DIN rail or screw to a plate for flexible installation in control panels and distribution assemblies.

Performance is assured across AC21A, AC22A and AC23A duties up to 690 V, with 15 kW at 400 V and 22 kW at 690 V (AC23A). It offers 10 kA conditional short-circuit capacity with gG32 fuse protection, plus 100,000-cycle mechanical and electrical life. Front IP20 protection, -25 to 55 °C operation and use up to 3000 m support industrial environments. Conforms to IEC/EN 60947-3/-1, UL60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 n°60947-4-1.
