GAZM016 - 3P 16A METAL ENCLOSED ISOLATOR

Why Choose the GAZM016?

Lovato GAZM016 switch disconnector delivers reliable isolation in a rugged IP65 metal enclosure. This 3‑pole, 16 A AC unit features a rotating red/yellow handle for clear on‑site operation and lock‑off. With compact dimensions of 150×200×120 mm, it suits panel or machinery mounting. Rated Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, it meets IEC/EN 60947‑3 and 60947‑1.

Designed for dependable service, the GAZM016 carries 16 A across AC21A, AC22A and AC23A categories up to 690 V, with 10 kA conditional short‑circuit withstand (gG16 fuse). It offers 100,000 mechanical and electrical cycles, −25 to +55 °C operation and IP65 sealing. Terminals accept 0.75–16 mm² conductors, tightened to 1.8–2 Nm, ensuring secure, compliant installation to 3000 m altitude.
