Power control made simple<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>

When continuous power is critical, LOVATO Electric\u2019s motorised changeover switches deliver. Designed to seamlessly transfer energy between sources \u2013 such as the grid and a backup generator \u2013 our switches are the ideal solution for commercial and industrial settings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

What are changeover switches?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>

A changeover switch is an electrical device that enables the safe transfer of power between two different sources – for example, switching from the utility grid to a backup generator during an outage. This ensures continuous power supply to critical systems and protects both people and equipment from electrical hazards.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Why are they important <\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

Uninterrupted operations
\n<\/b>Maintain business continuity by automatically or manually switching to an alternate power source.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

LOVATO\u2019s flexible control options<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>

Our motorised changeover switches offer two operating modes: impulse logic, which moves the switch to the selected position after a control pulse, and contactor logic, which keeps the switch in position while the command is active, returning to “0” when the command is removed (with auxiliary power).<\/p>\n

Designed for space efficiency, the three-pole version is just 294mm (11.57\u201d) wide, and the four-pole version is 328mm (12.91\u201d), making them ideal for tight installations.<\/p>\n

Users can choose between impulse or contactor logic for quick or continuous control flexibility, while the built-in expansion slot allows for easy system upgrades with additional relay outputs or a Modbus-RTU RS485 communication port. Both the three-pole and four-pole versions come pre-assembled for simple installation, and with motor supply options of 24VDC, 110 -125VAC\/DC, and 208\u2013277VAC, they ensure compatibility with a wide range of setups.<\/p>\n
