Why Choose the Lovato GL0100C1UL Switch Disconnector?
The Lovato GL0100C1UL is a three-pole UL98 switch disconnector with a 100 A general-purpose UL rating, designed for reliable isolation and switching in industrial and commercial electrical distribution systems. Part of the Lovato GL UL series, it is cULus certified and suitable for applications requiring a recognised UL98 disconnecting device.
Under IEC ratings, the GL0100C1UL provides a conventional free-air thermal current of 160 A and AC-21A, AC-22A and AC-23A operational ratings of 160 A at 400, 500 and 690 V AC. It also features a 1000 V insulation voltage, 12 kV impulse withstand voltage and a 100 kA IEC conditional short-circuit rating.
For UL applications, the device is rated 100 A general purpose at up to 600 V and provides three-phase motor ratings up to 100 HP at 600 V. The switch is supplied without an operating handle, allowing the appropriate Lovato direct-operating or door-coupling handle and shaft arrangement to be selected for the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the UL current rating of the Lovato GL0100C1UL?
The GL0100C1UL has a 100 A UL98 general-purpose current rating with a maximum UL operating voltage of 600 V.
Why does the GL0100C1UL also have a 160 A rating?
The ratings are based on different standards. Its UL98 general-purpose rating is 100 A, while its IEC conventional free-air thermal current Ith is 160 A. The applicable rating should therefore be selected according to the installation standard.
What motor loads can the GL0100C1UL switch under UL ratings?
The specified three-phase motor ratings are 30 HP at 240 V, 75 HP at 480 V and 100 HP at 600 V.
Can the GL0100C1UL be DIN-rail mounted?
Yes. Lovato specifies the GL0100C1UL for either screw mounting or installation on a 35 mm DIN rail.
Is an operating handle supplied with the GL0100C1UL?
No. The GL0100C1UL is supplied without a handle. A compatible Lovato direct-operating handle or a shaft extension and door-coupling handle should be selected separately for the required installation.
