GAZS016 - S/STEEL ENCLOSED ISOLATOR SWITCH 16A 3 POLE

Why Choose the GAZS016?

Lovato GAZS016 is a three‑pole switch disconnector supplied in an enclosed stainless steel AISI 304 housing with IP65 protection. Designed for reliable isolation in AC systems, it features a red/yellow rotary handle for clear status indication and safe operation. With 16 A Ith and compact 150x200x120mm dimensions, it fits machine panels and harsh environments.

Built to IEC/EN 60947-3 and 60947-1, it offers Ui 1000 V, Uimp 8 kV and 16 A across AC21A/AC22A/AC23A duties up to 690 V. Rated operational power is 7.5 kW at 400 V and 11 kW at 690 V. With 10 kA conditional short‑circuit withstand (gG16 fuse) and 100,000-cycle mechanical and electrical life, it performs from −25 to +55 °C.
