Changeover switches GLC type up to 1600A <\/span><\/div><\/h2><\/div>

LOVATO Electric expands its range of GLC type<\/b> changeover switches by introducing a new construction size for products covering applications up to 1600A<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The new switches available in the rated current of 1000A<\/b>, 1250A<\/b> and 1600A<\/b> can be used with direct control or door lock and feature a wide range of accessories to meet every installation need<\/span>.

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

GLC changeover switches are supplied already assembled in the three-pole<\/b> and four-pole<\/b> configurations; they have adequate electrical characteristics to meet any application needs despite having extremely compact dimensions. Mounting takes place on a plate using 4 screws without any positioning constraints. High breaking capacity contacts allow these devices to be used even in the AC33B<\/b> category at full load of 1600A<\/b> at 690V<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Direct operation or door coupling handles<\/b>, by the means of extension shaft, are padlockable, easy to install and remove thanks to snap-on mounting<\/b>, and available with the highest protection ratings IP66<\/b>, IP69K<\/b> and NEMA 4X<\/b>.<\/p>\n

All door coupling handles comply with UL508A<\/b> which requires the ability of trained personnel to inspect the live panel. They are in fact equipped with a mechanical interlock inhibition mechanism with a switch in position I or II which makes it possible to open the hatch.<\/p>\n

This mechanism cannot be activated without a tool, thus ensuring that the maneuver is totally voluntary.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In addition to the accessories already mentioned, terminal lugs<\/b>, auxiliary contacts<\/b>, terminal covers<\/b> and phase barriers<\/b> are available.<\/p>\n

Terminal lugs are screw-mounted; for other accessories, no tool is required as they are snap-fitted<\/b> onto the switch making installation quick<\/b> and intuitive<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
