GE0160P - 3P SWITCH DISCONNECTOR

Why Choose the GE0160P?

The Lovato GE0160P is a three-pole switch disconnector designed for reliable AC isolation in industrial panels. With an IEC conventional free-air thermal current Ith of 160 A and screw-on plate installation, this compact unit supports AC21A, AC22A and AC23A duties. Rated insulation voltage is 1000 V with 8 kV impulse withstand, and the frontal IP20 degree provides added touch safety during operation and maintenance.

Engineered for performance and longevity, GE0160P delivers up to 90 kW at AC23A 400 V and 75 kW at AC23A 690 V, with mechanical life rated to 30,000 cycles. It offers a 100 kA conditional short-circuit current when protected by a gG160 fuse, 4 Nm max terminal torque, and dependable service from -25 to 55 °C, storage -40 to 70 °C, up to 3000 m, pollution degree 3, per IEC/EN 60947-1/-3.
