LOVATO Electric rotary cam switches
Design, technology and reliability up to 2000A.
LOVATO Electric rotary cam switches represent an advanced technical solution for the control and switching of electrical circuits in industrial environments.
Designed to ensure maximum operational reliability, these devices are ideal for interrupting, inserting and switching circuits, as well as for starting electric motors. One of the main strength of these devices is their high breaking and making capacity, combined with excellent electrical and mechanical endurance.
