GAZ040 - 3P SWITCH 40A-ENCLOS-R/Y HAND.PADLOCK

Why Choose the GAZ040?

The Lovato GAZ040 is an IP65 enclosed switch disconnector engineered for dependable on-load isolation in industrial and commercial installations. This three-pole, AC device features a rotating red/yellow handle for clear status and safe lock-off. With 40 A Ith and proven AC21A/AC22A/AC23A performance, the GAZ040 combines robust switching with a compact 100 x 168 x 97 mm enclosure, making it an ideal choice where reliable isolation and straightforward integration are essential.

Built to IEC/EN 60947‑3 and 60947‑1, it offers 1000 V Ui and 8 kV Uimp ratings with a 10 kA conditional short-circuit current when protected by a gG40 fuse. Designed for longevity, it delivers 100000 mechanical and AC21A electrical cycles. Terminals accept 0.75–16 mm² conductors with 1.8–2 Nm torque. Suitable for -25 to +55 °C operation up to 3000 m altitude, with max 1 W power dissipation per pole.
