The complete product line covers rated current grades from small 63A all the way up to large industrial 3150A, unified 4-pole A/B/C+N full isolation structure to match light commercial, medium factory and heavy industrial main power distribution scenarios.

Each model integrates dual core functions: manual switching between two independent power sources and full-circuit visible isolation for safe equipment overhaul. Equipped with reinforced mechanical interlock operation handle, high-conductivity thick copper terminals and high flame-retardant insulated housing, all products pass IEC60947-3 standard temperature rise, breaking capacity and mechanical endurance tests. It is the ideal main circuit isolation & dual power switching equipment for distribution cabinets, pump stations, solar energy systems and backup generator rooms.

2. Core Product Features

1. Full Wide Current Range: 63A ~ 3150A Complete Grades

Full segmented current specifications cover all common low-voltage distribution loads:

63A / 100A / 160A / 200A / 250A / 400A / 630A / 800A / 1000A / 1250A / 1600A / 2000A / 2500A / 3150A

  • Small grades (63A–250A): Commercial buildings, small workshop branch distribution
  • Medium grades (400A–1250A): Factory main cabinets, HVAC, photovoltaic combiner boxes
  • Large grades (1600A–3150A): Heavy industry, data center, power station main incoming switches

2. 4-Pole Full Three-Phase + Neutral Isolation

Uniform 4P structure cuts off A/B/C three live phases and N neutral line simultaneously. When switched to OFF position, a visible isolation gap is formed inside the switch, completely eliminating residual live lines to avoid electric shock hazards during maintenance, fully meeting global electrical safety isolation requirements.

3. Mechanical Interlock Two-Position Safety Handle

Independent mechanical lock three-position operation logic:
  1. Position I (ON): First power supply operation
  2. Position O (OFF): Full circuit isolation, safe maintenance state
  3. Position II (ON): Second power supply operation

    Built-in mechanical anti-misoperation interlock prevents accidental power-on during overhaul; heavy-current large models adopt reinforced long handle for labor-saving stable switching without contact bounce.

4. Thickened Pure Copper Busbar Terminals (Size Matched Per Current Grade)

  • Small current (63–250A): Standard copper lugs for cables & small busbars
  • Medium & large current (400–3150A): Oversized thick copper busbar terminals, compatible with thick copper busbars

    All terminals adopt anti-oxidation silver plating, ultra-low contact resistance, minimal temperature rise under long-term full-load continuous operation, avoiding overheating burnout under heavy load.

5. Optimized Arc Extinguishing & Load Break Performance

Internal multi-layer arc extinguishing chamber design for every model, safely breaking rated load current and resisting instantaneous short-circuit surge current. Large-current high-capacity versions add reinforced contact pressure spring structure to ensure stable contact tightness for decades of heavy-duty use.

6. High-Grade Flame-Retardant Integrated Housing

Integral molded high-temperature bakelite/engineering plastic housing, excellent flame retardancy, insulation and impact resistance. High-current large-size models add reinforced side support ribs to resist cabinet vibration and thermal deformation under long high-temperature working conditions.

7. National Standard Certification & Stable Industrial Adaptability

All LMGLZ1 series comply with IEC60947-3 low-voltage switchgear standards, pass third-party laboratory tests for temperature rise, breaking capacity, insulation resistance and mechanical life, suitable for global industrial and commercial low-voltage distribution projects.

3. Working Conditions

The LMGLZ1 series isolating switch maintains stable long-term performance under standard industrial indoor environments:
  1. Ambient operating temperature: -10℃ ~ +55℃
  2. Protection Grade: IP20, only installed inside fully enclosed indoor distribution cabinets; NOT for outdoor exposed, splash or humid environments
  3. Surrounding atmosphere: Free of corrosive gas, flammable dust and conductive metal particles
  4. Altitude: Stable rated performance below 2000 meters above sea level
  5. Vibration resistance: Withstand normal workshop mechanical vibration; avoid continuous strong impact
  6. Humidity: Relative humidity ≤85%, no condensation inside the switch housing

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does 4P mean for LMGLZ1 series?

4P means 4 poles, simultaneously disconnect phase A, B, C and neutral N line, realizing complete full-circuit isolation, safer than 3P switches that leave neutral live during maintenance.

2. Is this an automatic transfer switch (ATS)?

This LMGLZ1 is a manual changeover isolating switch, only operated manually mechanical handle. If automatic dual power switching is required, select our LVMA automatic ATS transfer switch series.

3. How to select the correct current model from 63A~3150A?

Calculate the total maximum load current of the circuit, select the isolating switch rated current 1.2~1.5 times higher than the total load current to reserve overload margin for long-term stable operation.

4. Can large current models (1600A–3150A) connect directly to copper busbars?

Yes, the 1600A to 3150A versions are equipped with oversized thick copper busbar terminals, directly compatible with standard distribution cabinet copper busbars without transition connectors.

5. Can the switch be installed outdoors?

No, IP20 protection grade only supports installation inside sealed indoor distribution cabinets. Outdoor use will lead to dust accumulation, moisture corrosion and insulation failure of internal copper contacts.

6. Is the OFF position compliant with electrical safety isolation standards?

Yes. When the handle turns to O (OFF), there is a visible air isolation gap between moving and fixed contacts inside the switch, fully meeting IEC60947-3 isolation safety requirements for maintenance work.
