GA160ARY - 3P SWITCH 160A-DIRECT/DOOR COUPLING RED/YELLOW

Why Choose the GA160ARY?

Engineered for reliable isolation, the Lovato GA160ARY switch disconnector (SKU: GA160ARY) delivers three-pole AC switching with a 160 A Ith. This direct operating version features a high-visibility red handle on a yellow front for safe, intuitive operation. Suitable for panel or 35 mm DIN rail installation, it supports conductor sections from 4 to 70 mm² and provides IP20 frontal protection.

Built on the GA series platform, it offers robust insulation performance with Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV. With 1250 A making and 1000 A breaking capacity at AC23A 400 V, and an electrical life of 30,000 cycles (AC21A), it meets UL98 and IEC/EN 60947-3 requirements. A dependable choice for isolating motors, feeders and control circuits.
