Product details

The GS2L3 is a 3-pole switch-disconnector-fuse from the TeSys GS range, rated for 160 A operational current at 400 V AC-23A/B and 125 A at 690 V in the same duty classes. It accepts DIN-style fuse links, size 0, and is built to IEC 60947-3. That standard covers the making and breaking of motor circuits under load — not just isolation, but the ability to close onto a fault and interrupt it safely.

The headline numbers: 160 A conventional free-air thermal current (Ith) at 40 °C, and a making capacity of 1600 A at 400 V AC-23B. The breaking capacity at 400 V AC-23B is 1280 A. AC-23B is the motor-switching duty class — it means this switch can handle occasional switching of motor loads (including inrush) plus the full range of resistive and mixed loads. If your BOM calls for a 160 A fused disconnect on a motor circuit fed from a 400 V line, the GS2L3 fits.

This is a plate-mount switch-disconnector — it's designed to bolt into a panel, not snap onto DIN rail. The power circuit terminals accept bars up to 20 mm² or ring lugs from 50 to 95 mm², with a tightening torque of 12 N·m. The operating handle can be mounted on the right side or front of the enclosure, which gives some flexibility in panel layout.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for the GS2L3?

Rated operational current 160 A at 400 V AC-23A/B, 125 A at 690 V AC-23A/B. Breaking capacity 1280 A at 400 V AC-23B. Making capacity 1600 A at 400 V AC-23B. Short-circuit withstand 20 kA. Conventional free-air thermal current 160 A at 40 °C.

What standards does the GS2L3 comply with?

It is designed to IEC 60947-3, the standard for switches, disconnectors, switch-disconnectors and fuse-combination units. The fuse cover is rated for 850 °C glow-wire and the body for 960 °C per IEC 60695-2-1.

What is the GS2L3's depth?

The depth is 136.5 mm.
