Why Choose the Lovato RFN382500 Thermal Overload Relay?
The Lovato RFN382500 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 non-phase-failure-sensitive operation for industrial motor control applications.
The RFN382500 provides selectable manual or automatic resetting, allowing the reset method to be configured to suit the application. Its Class 10A tripping characteristic, integrated test button and trip indicator support dependable motor protection and straightforward commissioning, while the direct-mounting design enables compact motor starter assemblies.
With an adjustable operational current range of 20–25 A and a rated operational voltage of 690 V, the RFN382500 is suitable for industrial three-phase motor circuits. The relay mounts directly on Lovato BF09–BF38 contactors and provides IP20 frontal protection for installation within electrical control panels and machinery.
