Why Choose the Lovato GAZ025DT2 Photovoltaic Switch Disconnector?
The Lovato GAZ025DT2 is a compact 2-pole enclosed DC switch disconnector for photovoltaic applications, designed to provide dependable manual isolation of solar PV circuits. Part of the Lovato GAZ range, it combines the switching device, protective plastic enclosure and highly visible red/yellow operating handle in a ready-to-install assembly.
Designed specifically for DC installations, the GAZ025DT2 has an IEC conventional free-air thermal current of 25 A and is rated at 16 A at 1000 V DC under DC-21A and DC-21B utilisation categories. Its two-pole configuration allows simultaneous isolation of both conductors in a compatible photovoltaic DC circuit.
The enclosure provides IP65 protection and measures 100 × 168 × 97 mm, making the unit suitable for exposed industrial and photovoltaic installations where protection against dust and water ingress is important. Screw terminals accept IEC conductor cross-sections from 1–10 mm².

Reliable DC Isolation for Photovoltaic Systems
Photovoltaic switch disconnectors provide a manual means of isolating DC circuits so sections of a solar installation can be safely separated for inspection, servicing or maintenance. DC switching requires equipment specifically designed for the electrical characteristics of direct-current circuits, particularly at the elevated voltages found in modern photovoltaic systems.
The Lovato GAZ025DT2 combines a photovoltaic-rated switch disconnector with a robust IP65 plastic enclosure and red/yellow handle. Its 16 A rating at 1000 V DC, two-pole configuration and compact enclosure make it a practical isolation solution for compatible solar PV installations.
Typical Applications
- Solar photovoltaic DC isolation.
- PV string and array isolation systems.
- DC circuits between photovoltaic arrays and inverters.
- Commercial and industrial solar installations.
- Renewable energy control and distribution equipment.
- Outdoor or demanding installations requiring IP65 enclosed switching.
