GE0800ET4 - 4P CHANGEOVER SWITCH

Why Choose the GE0800ET4?

Lovato’s GE0800ET4 is a heavy-duty changeover switch designed for reliable AC source transfer across four poles. With an IEC conventional free air thermal current of 800 A and AC21/AC22/AC23 ratings up to 800 A, it suits demanding distribution duties. The SKU GE0800ET4 delivers 1000 V rated insulation, 12 kV impulse withstand and up to 315 kW AC23A power at 400 V.

Engineered for panel installation, this unit features screw-on plate mounting, IP20 front protection and a robust 10,000-cycle mechanical life. It offers a 100 kA conditional short-circuit rating with gG800 fuse protection, 24 Nm max terminal torque, and operates from -25 to 55 °C up to 3000 m altitude. Conforms to IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-3, with Sustainability certification.
