GE0201E - 3P CHANGEOVER SWITCH

Why Choose the GE0201E?

Engineered for dependable source transfer, the Lovato GE0201E is a three-pole changeover switch rated Ith 200 A for AC systems. Part of the GE series, it enables secure switching and isolation in control panels. Designed for screw-on plate installation, it supports AC21A, AC22A and AC23A utilisation categories, giving installers a versatile, standards-compliant solution for heavy-duty load changeover.

Built to perform in demanding environments, it delivers Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, with conditional short-circuit current up to 100 kA when protected by gG200 fuses. The IP20 frontal degree enhances operator safety, while terminals accept up to 24 Nm tightening torque. Rated operational currents include AC23A 160 A at 400 V and 125 A at 500 V, with 10,000 mechanical life cycles, -25 to 55 °C operation and use up to 3000 m altitude.
