Why Choose the Lovato GE0315ET4 Changeover Switch?
The Lovato GE0315ET4 is a heavy-duty four-pole manual changeover switch designed for safe and reliable transfer between two AC power sources in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Manufactured by Lovato Electric, this GE series device is suitable for mains-to-generator systems, dual-supply panels and low-voltage power distribution applications requiring dependable manual source selection.
With a rated conventional free air thermal current of 315A, the GE0315ET4 provides robust switching performance for demanding electrical systems. Its I-0-II stable switching positions allow clear selection between two supplies with an off position, while the four-pole configuration supports three-phase and neutral switching where complete circuit separation is required.
The Lovato GE0315ET4 is supplied for screw-on plate installation and is designed for use with suitable Lovato handles, shafts and changeover switch accessories. It is a practical choice for panel builders, contractors and engineers needing a high-current AC changeover switch for switchboards, generator transfer panels and industrial control systems.

Reliable Four-Pole Source Transfer for Industrial Power Systems
Changeover switches such as the Lovato GE0315ET4 are used to manually transfer electrical loads between two independent AC power sources. This supports safe source selection in systems where operators need to switch between mains supply, standby generator supply or alternative incoming feeds.
The four-pole design allows the neutral conductor to be switched along with the three phases, supporting safer isolation in installations where complete supply separation is required. Its robust GE series construction makes it suitable for high-current industrial and commercial power distribution systems.
Typical Applications
- Mains-to-generator changeover systems.
- Dual-supply electrical distribution panels.
- Industrial switchboards and control panels.
- Three-phase and neutral source transfer systems.
- Commercial building power distribution.
- Manual transfer and maintenance isolation applications.
