GE0161N - 3P SWITCH DISCONNECTOR W/NH FUSE HOLDER

Why Choose the GE0161N?

The Lovato GE0161N is a three-pole switch disconnector with NH fuse holder for dependable isolation and protection in AC installations. Delivering an IEC Ith of 160 A and screw-on-plate mounting, it fits control and distribution panels. With a rated insulation voltage Ui of 800 V and Uimp 8 kV, GE0161N provides strong insulation margins for industrial environments and safe, straightforward panel integration.

Rated AC21/AC22 at 160 A up to 690 V and AC23A to 125 A, this unit handles resistive, mixed and inductive loads with confidence. It offers conditional short-circuit current of 100 kA, IP20 frontal protection, and a mechanical life of 10,000 cycles. Terminal tightening torque is 13 Nm, with operation from -25 to 55 °C, up to 3000 m altitude, per IEC/EN 60947-1/-3.
