GA100C - 3P SWITCH 100A-DOOR MOUNTING

Why Choose the GA100C?

Lovato GA100C is a robust three-pole switch disconnector for reliable AC isolation in door-mount panels. Rated at 100 A (Ith) and designed for AC operation, the GA100C provides Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV performance with IP20 frontal protection. It supports AC21A, AC22A and AC23A duty categories up to 100 A, conforming to IEC/EN 60947 and UL98 requirements.

Engineered for demanding service, it offers 30,000 mechanical cycles and 30,000 electrical cycles (AC21A), with making 1250 A and breaking 1000 A at AC23A 400 V. Conditional short-circuit current is 50 kA with gG100 fuse. Terminals accept 4 to 70 mm² conductors, tightened to 5 to 6 Nm. Operates from -25 to +55 °C, up to 3000 m altitude, Pollution Degree 3.
