Powering up solar safety with LOVATO Electric\u2019s
\nNEW UL switch disconnectors<\/span><\/h1><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

LOVATO Electric USA has launched an advanced range of UL-compliant switch disconnectors designed specifically for the American market. The GL series now includes the new GLD\u2026UL type versions, certified to UL98B standards, making them an ideal choice for photovoltaic (PV) systems. These switch disconnectors are available in models with a general-purpose current rating of 100A and 200A for voltages up to 1500VDC, ensuring reliable performance for even the most demanding applications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The importance of switch disconnectors in photovoltaic systems<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>

\u2022 Ensuring electrical isolation<\/b>: They provide a clear disconnect point to isolate the PV system for maintenance or emergency interventions, safeguarding personnel and equipment.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Enhancing safety:<\/b> Visible contacts offer an added layer of assurance, allowing operators to confirm the disconnection visually.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Facilitating system control<\/b>: By enabling controlled power shutoffs, they help maintain operational efficiency and safety during system commissioning or decommissioning.<\/p>\n<\/div>
