  • GL switch disconnectors support AC23A category loads up to 630A at 400V.
  • GLC changeover switches are compact, pre-assembled, and offer versatile mounting options.
  • Integrated padlock fittings and UL508A compliance ensure safety and easy maintenance.

The switching technology, designed for very fast actuation, allows the using of these devices for switching loads in category AC23A up to 630A at 400V or 500A for higher voltages.

GL switch disconnectors feature a compact body. The four-pole version can be made up directly by the client thanks to the supplementary fourth pole (available separately) which, like the neutral and earth terminals, can be installed on both sides of the switch with two screws included in the kit.

The switch disconnectors can be mounted to a plate with four screws, without any restriction on positioning.

GLC changeover switches

GLC changeover switches are supplied pre-assembled in the three-pole and four-pole configurations

GLC changeover switches are supplied pre-assembled in the three-pole and four-pole configurations, and their electrical features make them compatible with any application, despite their small size.

They can be plate-mounted using four screws without any restriction on positioning. For both types of product, the power contact position (open/close) can be seen via the transparent window on the front of the unit itself.

Integrated padlock fittings

They can also be fitted with handles (available separately) for direct operation or door interlocked by installing an extension shaft. All versions have integrated padlock fittings and are available with the highest protection ratings on the market (IP66, IP69K, and NEMA 4X).

The door interlock handles are available with shafts of various lengths and, in order to prevent the inclination of very long shafts from causing interference with the doors, an accessory is available to support and perfectly guide the shaft into the handle while closing the door.

Inhibition mechanism

All door interlock handles are compliant with UL508A, which requires that trained personnel are able to inspect the panel when it is switched ON. 

To enable this, they are equipped with a mechanism to inhibit the mechanical interlock

To enable this, they are equipped with a mechanism to inhibit the mechanical interlock, which makes it possible to open the door even when the switch disconnector/change-over is in ON.

This inhibition mechanism can only be enabled with a tool, to prevent involuntary operation.

Installation requirement

To satisfy every installation requirement, along with the accessories mentioned above, a range of terminals, auxiliary contacts, terminal covers, and phase barriers are also available.

The terminals are screw-mounting, while no tools are required to install the other accessories, since they securely snap on so that the installation is quick and easy, and access to the panel for maintenance is guaranteed.
