GE1000 - 3P SWITCH DISCONNECTOR

Why Choose the GE1000?

Lovato’s GE1000 three-pole switch disconnector provides dependable AC isolation for industrial panels and equipment. Identified as SKU GE1000, it offers 1000 A Ith in free air, 1000 V rated insulation (Ui), and 12 kV impulse withstand (Uimp) for robust performance. Its screw-on-plate installation and IP20 frontal protection simplify safe, tidy panel integration, making it a strong choice for main isolation and load switching duties in power distribution.

High load switching is supported with AC-23A operational currents of 1000 A at 400 V, 800 A at 500 V, and 500 A at 690 V, plus a 72 kA conditional short-circuit rating with gG1000 fuse protection. Designed for durability with 10,000 mechanical cycles, it operates from -25 to 55 °C up to 3000 m altitude, meeting IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-3 requirements for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
