GE0160ET4 - 4P CHANGEOVER SWITCH

Why Choose the GE0160ET4?

The Lovato GE0160ET4 is a robust four‑pole changeover switch for AC systems, delivering dependable transfer at 160 A. With a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V and 8 kV impulse withstand, it supports demanding panel applications. It achieves AC23A 160 A at 400 V and fits neatly with screw‑on plate installation. An IP20 frontal rating suits protected enclosure mounting in industrial and commercial switchboards.

Built for reliability, the GE series offers up to 30,000 mechanical cycles and a conditional short‑circuit current of 100 kA when protected by a gG160 fuse. Rated operational power reaches 89 kW at 400 V AC23A (76 kW at 690 V), with low dissipation of 4 W per pole. Operating from −25 to 55 °C up to 3000 m, it complies with IEC/EN 60947‑1 and 60947‑3. Max terminal torque is 13 Nm.
