Mounting and operating options.

Match the flat-mounted, side-mounted or through-wall form to the panel. Specify the primary connections, operating direction and accessories together.

Installation arrangements

Arrangement Mechanical and primary fit Operating interfaces and accessories
Flat-mounted GN19-12 Match the phase spacing, fixing holes and primary-terminal layout to the panel. Left- and right-hand operation are usual. Specify upright or inverted blade orientation and the operating linkage.
Side-mounted GN19-12M Match the operating panel, frame fixing points and primary-terminal clearances. Specify left or right operation, upright or inverted mounting, and the matching socket and handle.
Through-wall GN19-12C Choose C1 blade side through the wall, C2 stationary-contact side, or C3 both sides. Specify the primary-conductor layout. Confirm the through-wall side and operating linkage on the complete assembly drawing.

Mounting and primary connections

Through-wall direction
C1: blade side through the wall; C2: stationary-contact side; C3: both sides. C1 is the usual selection. Match the wall opening and insulation clearances.
Through-wall connections
Upper-flat / lower-straight is usual. Flat-in / flat-out requires a custom assembly drawing.
Phase spacing and fixing points
Choose 190, 210, 250 or 275 mm phase spacing. Usual selection: 210 mm, with a 620 × 240 mm installation reference. Confirm the mounting pattern for the selected form.
Side-mounted panel
Panel: 135 × 185 mm. Usual references: 185 mm from the panel to the frame fixing hole and 495 mm from the B-phase centre to the panel. Confirm the exact interface drawing.
Primary phase order
Flat-mounted upright arrangement: A / B / C from left to centre to right. Confirm the terminal phase order for side-mounted or inverted arrangements.
Derivative construction
Specify GN19-12W(C) for pollution-resistant construction, GN19-12G(C) for high-altitude use, or GN19-12X(C) with a voltage-display device. Agree the derivative-specific ratings and installation schedule.

Operating mechanisms and accessories

Operating direction
Flat-mounted and through-wall forms are usually operable from either side. Side-mounted forms require a left- or right-hand choice; state the orientation on the order drawing.
Inverted mounting and holding spring
Blade-down inverted mounting requires an opening-position holding spring, including an inverted side-mounted assembly with an operating panel.
Manual mechanism
Specify no separate mechanism or a matched CS6 mechanism. JSXGN-12 is another manual operating interface to confirm with the assembly; side-mounted forms include the matching socket and handle.
Auxiliary switch
Omitted as usual. When required, specify the open / closed contact counts and terminal assignments.
Voltage-presence sensor
Omitted as usual. Choose stationary-contact-side or blade-side installation and confirm which primary terminal is the incoming side.
Earthing-blade requirement
An assembly with an integral earthing blade is identified as GN24. Specify the appropriate product and its interlocks instead of adding an earthing blade to the GN19-12 selection.

State the full model, quantity, rated current / withstand combination, installation form and manual mechanism. Confirm the assembly outline, wall or panel interface, phase order and operating sequence before ordering. Usual selections depend on the chosen form.

GN19-12 selection questions.

Answers about no-load isolation, mounting arrangements and ordering requirements.

01Which current and withstand combinations can I specify?

Specify the full model suffix. The listed current / 4 s thermal / dynamic combinations are 400 A / 12.5 kA / 31.5 kA, 630 A / 20 kA / 50 kA, 1000 A / 31.5 kA / 80 kA and 1250 A / 40 kA / 100 kA for GN19-12 and GN19-12C. These are paired withstand ratings. See the model rating schedule.

02Can GN19-12 interrupt load current?

GN19-12 is an indoor disconnector for isolation at voltage under no-load conditions. Its thermal and dynamic withstand ratings are not load-breaking or short-circuit interruption ratings. Coordinate circuit opening and isolation with the switchgear operating procedure.

03How do I select a through-wall arrangement?

GN19-12 is the flat-mounted version; GN19-12C is the through-wall family. C1 passes through the blade side, C2 through the stationary-contact side and C3 through both sides. Confirm wall connections, operating direction and clearances against the installation choices and selected outline.

04What is required for inverted mounting?

An inverted blade-down assembly requires an opening-holding spring. The spring is also required for an inverted side-mounted assembly with an operating panel. Confirm mounting direction, mechanism and operating access in the selection form before ordering.

05Can I order an integral earthing blade as a GN19-12 option?

The assembly with an integral earthing blade is designated GN24. Specify the correct product identity and confirm the complete arrangement; do not treat it as a GN19-12 configuration. See the installation and operating options.

06What should accompany a quotation request?

Provide quantity, complete model, mounting arrangement, phase spacing, operating direction and mechanism selection, including any auxiliary contacts or voltage-presence sensors. For a side-mounted assembly, confirm the handle and sleeve. Use the approved order drawing to confirm dimensions, units, tolerances and interfaces. Complete the selection form with the required arrangement.
