GE0500ET4 - 4P CHANGEOVER SWITCH

Why Choose the GE0500ET4?

The Lovato GE0500ET4 is a four‑pole changeover switch for AC systems, rated Ith 500 A and designed for screw‑on plate installation. With a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V and 12 kV impulse withstand, the SKU GE0500ET4 provides dependable switching across demanding panels. It delivers AC21A and AC22A operational currents up to 500 A, plus AC23A capability of 400 A at 400 V.

Built for reliability, it offers a 100 kA conditional short‑circuit current when protected by a gG500 fuse, and a frontal IP20 degree with pollution degree 3. Mechanical life is 10,000 cycles, with 24 Nm maximum terminal torque, operating temperatures from −25 to 55 °C, storage −40 to 70 °C, and installation up to 3000 m altitude. Complies with IEC/EN 60947‑1 and 60947‑3.
