GAZ016B - 3P SWITCH 16A-ENCLOS-BLACK HAND.PADLOCK

Why Choose the GAZ016B?

The Lovato GAZ016B is an IEC/EN type IP65 plastic enclosure switch disconnector designed for dependable isolation in industrial AC circuits. This three‑pole unit features a rotating black handle and 16 A rating, with a compact 100×168×97 mm enclosure. With Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, the GAZ016B offers robust performance within a small footprint.

Rated 16 A across AC21A, AC22A and AC23A up to 690 V, it delivers 7.5 kW at 400 V AC23A and 11 kW at 690 V AC23A. The IP65 enclosure, 100,000‑cycle mechanical and electrical life, 0.75–16 mm² conductor capacity and 1.8–2 Nm torque simplify dependable installation. Operates from −25 to +55 °C and up to 3000 m altitude.
