Lovato GLC0160T4C1 IEC/EN four-pole changeover switch 160A

Why Choose the Lovato GLC0160T4C1 Changeover Switch?

The Lovato GLC0160T4C1 is a robust four-pole changeover switch designed for reliable manual transfer between two electrical supply sources in industrial and commercial low-voltage installations. As part of the Lovato GLC changeover switch series, it provides dependable AC switching, isolation and source selection for distribution panels, generator changeover systems and electrical control cabinets.

This changeover switch is engineered for applications where safe supply selection, durable operation and clear switching positions are essential. Its screw-on-plate mounting design supports secure installation inside electrical panels, while the I-0-II switching positions allow operators to select between source one, off and source two with confidence.

With a rated conventional free air thermal current of 160 A, a four-pole configuration and suitability for AC systems up to 690 V, the GLC0160T4C1 is ideal for mains-to-generator changeover, three-phase plus neutral switching, industrial distribution boards and machinery power control applications.

Reliable Four-Pole Changeover Switching

Changeover switches such as the Lovato GLC0160T4C1 allow operators to manually transfer electrical loads between two separate supply paths. This is commonly required where equipment must be switched between mains power, standby generators or alternative distribution circuits.

The four-pole design enables the switching of three-phase conductors and the neutral conductor, making it particularly useful in generator changeover systems and installations where full source separation is required. Its robust operating mechanism and clear switching positions help support safe, repeatable operation in demanding electrical environments.

Typical Applications

• Mains-to-generator changeover systems.
• Three-phase plus neutral power distribution panels.
• Commercial electrical switchboards.
• Manual source selection in control cabinets.
• Industrial machinery and plant room panels.
• Maintenance and service isolation circuits.
