£3,450.51
The Lovato 11B5000060 is a heavy-duty three-pole industrial power contactor engineered for dependable switching of large three-phase motors and high-current electrical loads. Part of the robust Lovato B500 contactor series, it features a 60 V AC/DC control coil for integration into industrial automation, machinery and motor-control systems.
Designed for demanding operating environments, the contactor combines high switching capacity with durable mechanical construction and secure panel mounting. Its three normally open main contacts provide reliable control of industrial power circuits, while its wide operating-frequency range supports use across varied motor-control and electrical distribution applications.
With an IEC conventional free-air thermal current rating of 700 A and an AC-3 operational rating of 520 A / 290 kW at 400 V, the Lovato 11B5000060 is suitable for large pumps, compressors, conveyors, ventilation systems and heavy process machinery.
Industrial contactors such as the Lovato 11B5000060 allow large motors and high-power electrical equipment to be operated through a lower-power control circuit. This enables remote switching, automated sequencing and integration with programmable controllers, overload relays and industrial safety systems.
The B500 contactor’s high current capacity, robust main contacts and wide operational-frequency range make it suitable for intensive applications where dependable switching and long-term operational stability are essential.
