GE0160B - 3P SWITCH DISCONNECTOR W/BS FUSE HOLDER

Why Choose the GE0160B?

Lovato’s GE0160B is a robust three-pole switch disconnector with BS fuse holder for reliable load isolation and switching. Rated Ith 160 A with AC operation to 690 V, it delivers AC21/AC22/AC23 performance across common voltages. With Ui 800 V and Uimp 8 kV, this compact unit helps safeguard circuits while meeting IEC/EN 60947-1/3 requirements in industrial and commercial panels.

Designed for straightforward panel integration, it features screw-on plate mounting, IP20 frontal protection and a maximum terminal torque of 13 Nm. The device withstands demanding duty with 100 kA conditional short-circuit current, 1600 A making and 1280 A breaking at AC-23A 400 V. Operating from -25 to 55 °C, with 10,000 mechanical cycles and 3000 m altitude capability, it supports dependable service.
