High-Current Fuse Protection and Circuit Isolation

Fused switch disconnectors combine manual circuit isolation with accommodation for fuse links, allowing switching and fuse protection to be incorporated into a coordinated assembly. The Lovato GEF range is designed for compact panel installations and includes transparent front windows that allow the condition of installed fuse links to be monitored without compromising the practical layout of the switchgear.

The Lovato GEF0250N combines three-pole isolation with an integrated NH fuse holder and a high 100 kA rms conditional short-circuit current rating. Its substantial 250 A AC-23A rating at 400 V AC, lug or bar connections and flexible mounting orientation make it particularly suitable for high-current industrial feeders, switchboards and machinery power distribution systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial power distribution and high-current feeder isolation.
  • Switchboards and electrical distribution panels.
  • Three-phase circuits requiring NH fuse protection.
  • Industrial machinery and automation systems.
  • Motor and equipment feeder circuits.
  • Commercial and industrial installations requiring fused isolation up to 250 A.
