GE0800 - 3P SWITCH DISCONNECTOR

Why Choose the GE0800?

The Lovato GE0800 is a three-pole switch disconnector engineered for reliable isolation in demanding AC applications. Rated Ith 800 A with AC21A/AC22A/AC23A utilisation categories, it provides robust performance across 400–690 V circuits. With Ui 1000 V and Uimp 12 kV, the GE0800 ensures dependable dielectric strength. Screw-on plate installation and an IP20 frontal degree simplify integration within control panels and switchboards.

Built for longevity with 10,000 mechanical cycles, this GE series device withstands demanding service. It offers conditional short-circuit current 100 kA (with gG800 fuse), plus AC23A making 6,300 A and breaking 5,000 A at 400 V. Rated operational power reaches 443 kW at 400 V and 300 kW at 690 V. Operating temperature is -25 to 55 °C, max altitude 3000 m, pollution degree 3, compliant with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-3.
