Why Choose the Lovato M3P08012400B8 Direct-On-Line Starter?
The Lovato M3P08012400B8 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) motor starter designed for switching and thermal overload protection of three-phase motors in industrial machinery and equipment. It combines the contactor, adjustable thermal overload relay and local operator controls within a non-metallic enclosure, providing a complete motor-starting solution.
The M3P08012400B8 is supplied with a Lovato BF8000A contactor and RF828200 thermal overload relay. The overload relay provides an adjustable current range of 60–82 A, allowing the protection setting to be matched to the rated current of the connected motor.
With an IEC AC-3 operating rating of 80 A and 45 kW at 400 V, a 400 V AC 50/60 Hz contactor coil and IP65 frontal protection, the M3P08012400B8 provides an enclosed solution for fixed-speed industrial motor starting where local START and STOP/RESET control and adjustable overload protection are required.

Reliable Direct-On-Line Motor Starting
Direct-on-line starters provide a straightforward method of controlling fixed-speed motors by connecting the motor directly to the electrical supply through a contactor. The Lovato M3P08012400B8 combines this switching function with adjustable thermal overload protection, providing an integrated solution for starting and protecting appropriately rated industrial motors.
The 60–82 A adjustment range enables the RF828200 thermal overload relay to be configured according to the rated current of the connected motor. Integrated START and STOP/RESET pushbuttons provide convenient local operation, while the non-metallic enclosure provides IP65 frontal protection for industrial installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial pumps and pumping systems.
- Fans and ventilation equipment.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Compressors and processing equipment.
