Why Choose the Lovato PMV70A240 Voltage Monitoring Relay?
The Lovato PMV70A240 is a comprehensive three-phase voltage monitoring relay designed to protect industrial electrical systems against abnormal voltage and phase conditions. As part of the Lovato PMV70 monitoring relay series, it combines minimum-voltage, maximum-voltage and voltage-asymmetry monitoring with phase-loss and incorrect phase-sequence detection.
This self-powered relay continuously supervises a 208–240 V AC three-phase supply without neutral and de-energises its output contact when a monitored fault occurs. Independently adjustable voltage, asymmetry and timing controls allow the protection settings to be matched to motors, machinery and control systems, helping prevent equipment damage and unexpected downtime.
With adjustable 80–95% undervoltage, 105–115% overvoltage and 5–15% asymmetry thresholds, the PMV70A240 provides versatile protection from a single compact device. Its automatic reset, clear LED indication and 35 mm DIN rail mounting make it particularly suitable for industrial control panels, switchboards and machine-building applications.

Reliable Multifunction Three-Phase Protection
Undervoltage can cause motors to lose torque and draw excessive current, while overvoltage can place damaging stress on insulation and electronic components. Voltage asymmetry can also produce uneven motor currents, excessive heating and reduced operating efficiency. The Lovato PMV70A240 monitors all three conditions from a single compact relay.
The PMV70A240 also detects phase loss and incorrect phase sequence, helping prevent motor damage, stalled operation and reverse rotation. Adjustable thresholds and time delays allow the relay to distinguish between temporary supply fluctuations and persistent faults, providing dependable protection without unnecessary shutdowns.
