GE0160N - 3P SWITCH DISCONNECTOR W/NH FUSE HOLDER

Why Choose the GE0160N?

Engineered for dependable load isolation, the Lovato GE0160N is a three‑pole switch disconnector with NH fuse holder for AC installations. With an IEC conventional free‑air thermal current of 160 A and strong AC21/AC22/AC23 performance up to 690 V, it protects circuits while enabling safe maintenance. Its compact, IP20 frontal protection and straightforward screw‑on‑plate mounting make integration into control panels, switchboards and distribution assemblies fast and reliable.

Built to perform in demanding environments, the GE series device offers Ui 800 V, Uimp 8 kV and a conditional short‑circuit rating of 100 kA. A mechanical life of 10,000 cycles, operating temperature from −25 to 55 °C and max altitude 3,000 m ensure durability. Compliant with IEC/EN 60947‑1 and 60947‑3, it delivers confident isolation and protection in industrial motor control, power distribution and general switching duties.
