GAZ016 - 3P SWITCH 16A-ENCLOS-R/Y HAND.PADLOCK

Why Choose the GAZ016?

The Lovato GAZ016 is an IP65 enclosed switch disconnector designed for reliable isolation in demanding industrial settings. This three-pole device features a rotating red/yellow handle for clear status indication and safe operation. Rated Ith 16 A and AC type, it withstands Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, all within a compact 100×168×97 mm plastic enclosure.

Engineered for versatility, GAZ016 delivers 16 A across AC21A, AC22A and AC23A at 400, 500 and 690 V, with rated operational power of 7.5 kW at 400 V and 11 kW at 690 V. It offers 100000 mechanical and AC21A electrical cycles, IP65 protection, conditional short-circuit current 10 kA (gG16 fuse), and compliance with IEC/EN 60947-3 and 60947-1.
