Why Choose the Lovato M1R0181012060 Direct-On-Line Starter?
The Lovato M1R0181012060 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) motor starter designed for reliable switching and control of three-phase electric motors in industrial applications. As part of the Lovato Electric M1R electromechanical starter range, it provides a robust enclosed motor control solution with a BF09/BF18 contactor and front RESET pushbutton.
This model is supplied without a thermal overload relay, allowing the appropriate motor overload protection to be selected separately for the application. Its enclosed construction provides IP65 ingress protection, while screw connections for the main and auxiliary/control circuits support straightforward installation into industrial machinery and motor control systems.
With a rated operating current of 18 A and an AC-3 motor rating of 7.5 kW at 400 V, the M1R0181012060 is suitable for a range of industrial motor applications. The contactor uses a 120 V AC 60 Hz coil, making this particular version suitable for control systems providing the corresponding control voltage and frequency.
