GE0800E - 3P CHANGEOVER SWITCH

Why Choose the GE0800E?

The Lovato GE0800E is a robust three-pole changeover switch for dependable mains/backup transfer and isolation in AC systems. Rated Ith 800 A and designed for screw-on plate installation, it offers Ui 1000 V and Uimp 12 kV, with power dissipation per pole up to 72 W. The GE0800E complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-3, delivering secure operation in industrial panels and switchboards.

Engineered for versatility, the GE0800E supports AC21A and AC22A duty up to 800 A, with AC23A capability of 630 A at 400 V and 400 A at 500 V. Rated operational power reaches 315 kW at 400 V and 272 kW at 690 V. A frontal IP20 degree, 10,000 mechanical cycles, 24 Nm max terminal torque and -25 to 55 °C operation suit demanding environments up to 3000 m altitude.
