Switch to Lovato and power up your performance

Switch disconnectors are an essential part of any machine build, ensuring the safe isolation of power for maintenance, repair, or troubleshooting. The reliability of these units are critical to protect both people and machinery against the dangers of shocks or fires.

Reassuringly reliable and tested to the limits.

For over 100 years, Lovato’s family run company have designed, built, and tested its devices and components to the limits, ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability possible. The GL range of switch disconnectors are tested for a mechanical life of up to 20000 cycles and are accredited by IEC/EN/BS for 160A to 1000A and cULus for 100A to 800A.

Modular design for flexibility and customisation.

Whilst safety and reliability are the most important aspects of the GL series, these units have a compact and modular design to ensure maximum flexibility and ease of fitting even in the smallest of spaces. The GL series can be fitted in all directions and has a simple snap on feature for auxiliary contacts and quick installation of a modular fourth pole if required. The GL series also features a window design to give a clear view of the individual power poles and a high breaking capability with a rotating contact, doubling breaking on each pole.
