Why Choose the Lovato RFN382300 Thermal Overload Relay?
The Lovato RFN382300 is a robust and reliable thermal motor protection relay designed to protect three-phase motors against sustained overload conditions. As part of the Lovato RFN38 motor protection relay series, it features a three-pole thermal release and is specifically designed for applications that do not require phase failure or single-phase sensitivity.
The RFN382300 provides flexible manual or automatic resetting, allowing the reset method to be selected to suit the motor control application. A Class 10A tripping characteristic, integrated test button and trip indicator support dependable motor protection and straightforward commissioning, while one normally open and one normally closed auxiliary contact allow integration with control and signalling circuits.
With an adjustable operational current range of 17–23 A and a rated operational voltage of 690 V, the RFN382300 is suitable for a wide range of industrial motor applications. It mounts directly on Lovato BF09–BF38 contactors, creating a compact motor starter assembly for installation in machinery and electrical control panels.

Reliable Motor Protection for Industrial Machinery
Thermal overload relays such as the Lovato RFN382300 protect electric motors by responding to sustained overcurrent conditions that can cause excessive heating and equipment damage. Its adjustable 17–23 A operating range allows the relay to be set according to the protected motor, while the Class 10A tripping characteristic provides defined overload response behaviour.
The RFN382300 is designed for motor circuits where phase failure sensitivity is not required. Its selectable manual or automatic reset, test button, trip indicator and auxiliary contacts provide flexible integration into industrial control systems, while direct mounting on compatible Lovato BF contactors enables compact motor starter construction.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase motor overload protection.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Pumps, fans and ventilation equipment.
- Compressors, mixers and machine tools.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Motor starter assemblies using Lovato BF09–BF38 contactors.
