Why Choose the Lovato GAKIT160 160A 3-Pole Switch Disconnector Kit?
The Lovato GAKIT160 is a complete 160 A 3-pole switch disconnector kit designed for industrial electrical isolation and power distribution applications. Based on the Lovato GA160A switch disconnector, the kit combines the main switching device with the components required for convenient door-coupled operation in an electrical enclosure.
The GAKIT160 includes a GAX61 door-interlocked padlockable handle, 200 mm metal operating shaft and a single terminal shroud for the line side. The switch provides an IEC conventional thermal current of 160 A in AC-21A duty up to 690 V and an AC-23A operational current of 125 A at 400/415 V, making it suitable for demanding industrial switching and isolation duties.
The external handle provides IP65 front protection and can be padlocked to support controlled isolation during maintenance. With screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting, robust main terminals and a compact 70 mm-wide switch body, the GAKIT160 provides panel builders with a practical packaged solution for machinery, distribution boards and industrial control systems.

Secure Door-Coupled Isolation for Industrial Power Systems
The Lovato GAKIT160 provides a complete door-coupled isolation arrangement for electrical enclosures. The 200 mm shaft mechanically connects the external GAX61 operating handle to the internally mounted GA160A switch disconnector, allowing the supply to be switched and isolated without routine access to live components inside the panel.
Its door-interlocked and padlockable operating arrangement is particularly useful for machinery, motor control and distribution systems where controlled isolation is required during servicing. The included line-side terminal shroud provides additional protection around the incoming terminals, while the GA160A switch offers robust switching performance for industrial loads up to its specified utilisation-category ratings.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution panels.
- Machinery main isolation switches.
- Motor control centres and control cabinets.
- HVAC and building-services equipment.
- Industrial production and processing machinery.
- OEM switchboards and electrical enclosures.
