GE0315E - 3P CHANGEOVER SWITCH

Why Choose the GE0315E?

Lovato’s GE0315E is a three-pole changeover switch engineered for dependable source transfer in AC installations. Delivering 315 A Ith with Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, the GE0315E (SKU GE0315E) fits neatly into control panels via screw-on-plate mounting. Its IP20 frontal protection and pollution degree 3 design support safe operation in industrial switchgear and distribution applications.

Optimised for a wide range of loads, it carries AC21A and AC22A ratings up to 315 A and AC23A service to 200 A at 400 V. With a 100 kA conditional short-circuit rating when protected by a gG315 fuse, 10,000 mechanical cycles, and 24 Nm max terminal torque, it performs reliably from −25 to 55 °C and up to 3000 m altitude.
