GA032C - 3P SWITCH 32A-DOOR MOUNTING

Why Choose the GA032C?

Lovato GA032C is a three‑pole switch disconnector for AC applications, engineered for reliable isolation in control and distribution panels. This door‑mount version carries an IEC conventional free‑air thermal current of 32 A, with Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV. Frontal IP20 protection and compliance with IEC/EN 60947 standards support safe, consistent operation across demanding industrial environments.

Rated to AC21A and AC22A 32 A up to 690 V, and AC23A 25 A at 500–690 V, GA delivers assured switching performance. It offers 400 A making and 320 A breaking capacity at AC23A 400 V, with 100,000 mechanical and AC21A electrical cycles. Robust terminals accept 0.75–16 mm² conductors (1.8–2 Nm). Operating from −25 to +55 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, it suits tough sites.
