Reliable High-Current Switching for Industrial Systems
Industrial contactors such as the Lovato 11B500400220 allow large motors and high-power electrical loads to be controlled through a lower-power control circuit. This supports remote operation, automated sequencing and integration with programmable controllers, overload protection and industrial safety systems.
The four-pole B500 design is particularly suitable for applications requiring simultaneous switching of several conductors. Its high current capacity and industrial construction provide dependable performance in motor control centres, production machinery and power-distribution equipment.
Typical Applications
- Large industrial motor starters.
- Motor control centres and switchboards.
- Industrial pumps and compressors.
- Heavy conveyors and material-handling systems.
- Process and production machinery.
- Industrial automation and power-distribution panels.
