GE0160E - 3P CHANGEOVER SWITCH

Why Choose the GE0160E?

Lovato’s GE0160E three‑pole changeover switch delivers dependable source switching for industrial AC applications. With 160 A Ith and AC21A/AC22A/AC23A performance up to 160 A at 400 V, it ensures reliable load transfer and isolation. Rated Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV with IP20 frontal protection, the SKU GE0160E mounts on a screw‑on plate for straightforward panel integration.

Designed for durability and safety, this GE series changeover switch offers a conditional short‑circuit current of 100 kA (with gG160 fuse) and a mechanical life of 30,000 cycles. Operating from -25 to 55 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, it complies with IEC/EN 60947‑1 and 60947‑3. IP20 frontal protection and straightforward screw‑on plate mounting support reliable, sustainable installations.
