GE0315 - 3P SWITCH DISCONNECTOR

Why Choose the GE0315?

Engineered by Lovato, the GE0315 three-pole switch disconnector delivers reliable AC isolation for industrial panels and machinery. Rated at 315 A Ith and suitable for AC operation, it combines robust performance with compact, panel-mount convenience. With Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, it offers strong dielectric endurance, while IP20 frontal protection adds touch safety during integration and maintenance.

Across AC utilisation categories, it handles demanding loads: up to 315 A at AC21A/AC22A 400–500 V, and 315/250/160 A at AC23A 400/500/690 V. Making 3150 A and breaking 2520 A at AC23A 400 V, it withstands 100 kA conditional short-circuit current with gG315 fuse. Designed for screw-on plate mounting, it offers 20,000 mechanical cycles, operates from -25 to 55 °C, up to 3000 m, Pollution Degree 3.
