Why Choose the Lovato M25RA Empty Motor Starter Enclosure?

The Lovato M25RA is an empty non-metallic enclosure designed for assembling enclosed direct-on-line motor starters using compatible Lovato contactors and thermal overload relays. It supports BF26A, BF32A and BF38A contactors and includes a front-mounted reset pushbutton.

This enclosure provides a practical foundation for building a customised motor starter while protecting the installed control components from demanding environmental conditions. The reset mechanism allows an installed thermal overload relay to be reset externally without opening the enclosure.

Designed for motor-control applications with a maximum operating current of 38 A at up to 440 V, the M25RA provides an IP65 IEC protection rating. Its non-metallic construction supports insulated enclosed installations, while the compatible RF38 thermal overload relay is purchased separately.

Protected Housing for Motor Starter Components

An enclosed direct-on-line starter requires suitable housing to protect its contactor, thermal overload relay and electrical connections. The M25RA provides a non-metallic enclosure designed around compatible Lovato motor-control components.

The front reset control enables an installed overload relay to be reset while the enclosure remains closed. Its IP65 rating makes the M25RA suitable for locations where the installed equipment requires protection against dust ingress and water jets.

Typical Applications

  • Custom direct-on-line motor starter assemblies.
  • Industrial pumps and pumping equipment.
  • Fans and ventilation systems.
  • Conveyors and material-handling machinery.
  • Compressors and processing equipment.
