LIVE Electrical LGF40-16P2 4 Pole 16A IP66 Photovoltaic DC Rotary Switch
LIVE Electrical LGF40-16P2 4-Pole 16A IP66 Photovoltaic DC Rotary Switch
Product Overview
The LIVE Electrical LGF40-16P2 4-Pole Photovoltaic DC Rotary Switch offers high-performance isolation and protection for DC power systems up to 16A. Designed with safety and reliability in mind, each pole contact features an arc extinguishing system that rapidly suppresses electrical arcs during switching, ensuring safe and stable operation in solar and DC applications. This switch is ideal for use in photovoltaic arrays, battery storage systems, and industrial DC distribution circuits.
Constructed to withstand demanding environments, the LGF40-16P2 has a robust IP66-rated enclosure for full protection against dust and high-pressure water jets. The cover can only be removed in the “off” position, providing additional operator safety. Fully compliant with IEC 60947-3 standards, it guarantees long-term performance and reliability across a wide temperature range.
