Why Choose the Lovato M25P03812230B5 Direct-On-Line Starter?
The Lovato M25P03812230B5 is an enclosed direct-on-line motor starter designed to switch and protect three-phase motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. It combines a Lovato BF3800A contactor with an RF383800 thermal overload relay inside a durable non-metallic enclosure.
This complete starter simplifies motor-control installation by integrating the contactor, adjustable overload protection and operator controls within one assembly. Front-mounted start and stop/reset pushbuttons provide convenient local motor operation, while the thermal relay protects the connected motor against sustained overload conditions.
With an adjustable overload range of 32–38 A, an IEC operational current rating of 38 A and a motor rating of 18.5 kW at up to 440 V, the M25P03812230B5 is suitable for higher-power industrial motors. Its contactor uses a 230 V AC 50/60 Hz coil, while the enclosure provides IP65 frontal protection.
