Why Choose the Lovato PMV50A240 Voltage Monitoring Relay?
The Lovato PMV50A240 is a compact and reliable three-phase voltage monitoring relay designed to protect industrial electrical systems against undervoltage, overvoltage, phase loss and incorrect phase sequence. As part of the Lovato PMV50 monitoring relay series, it provides comprehensive supply supervision for three-phase systems operating without a neutral conductor.
This self-powered relay continuously monitors a 208–240 V AC three-phase supply and de-energises its output contact when a voltage or phase fault is detected. Independently adjustable minimum and maximum voltage thresholds allow the protection settings to be matched to the requirements of motors, machinery and control systems.
With adjustable 80–95% undervoltage and 105–115% overvoltage thresholds, configurable timing controls and rapid phase-loss detection, the PMV50A240 helps reduce the risk of motor overheating, insulation damage, incorrect rotation and unexpected downtime. Its two-module enclosure and 35 mm DIN rail mounting make it straightforward to install in industrial control panels and switchboards.
Key Advantages
Monitors three-phase 208–240 V AC systems without neutral.
Detects undervoltage, overvoltage, phase loss and incorrect phase sequence.
Self-powered operation eliminates the need for a separate auxiliary supply.
Adjustable minimum-voltage threshold from 80% to 95% of Ue.
Adjustable maximum-voltage threshold from 105% to 115% of Ue.
Adjustable tripping and resetting delays help prevent nuisance operation.
Fast phase-loss response helps protect motors and connected machinery.
Compact two-module design for space-efficient panel installation.
Key Features

Reliable Minimum and Maximum Voltage Protection
Undervoltage can cause motors to draw excessive current, lose torque and overheat, while overvoltage can place unnecessary stress on insulation and connected electrical components. The Lovato PMV50A240 continuously supervises the supply voltage and changes the state of its output relay when the measured value moves outside the configured limits.
The relay also detects phase loss and incorrect phase sequence, helping prevent motor damage and reverse rotation. Its adjustable thresholds and timing controls allow protection to be tailored to the connected equipment while reducing nuisance trips caused by brief supply disturbances.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lovato PMV50A240 used for?
The PMV50A240 monitors a three-phase 208–240 V AC supply for undervoltage, overvoltage, phase loss and incorrect phase sequence, helping protect motors and industrial equipment.
Does the PMV50A240 require a separate auxiliary supply?
No. The relay is self-powered directly from the monitored three-phase circuit.
Can the minimum and maximum voltage limits be adjusted?
Yes. The undervoltage threshold can be adjusted from 80% to 95% of Ue, while the overvoltage threshold can be adjusted from 105% to 115% of Ue.
How quickly does the relay respond to phase loss?
The PMV50A240 has a phase-loss tripping time of approximately 60 milliseconds.
How is the Lovato PMV50A240 installed?
The relay mounts onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail and occupies two modular units inside an electrical control panel or switchboard.
