The Lovato RM148 Earth Leakage Relay delivers dependable protection with a single operating threshold and fixed tripping set point and time. Designed for modular 35 mm DIN (IEC/EN60715) rail mounting, it works with an external toroidal transformer (CT) and Type A residual operation characteristic. Wide 24-48 VAC/DC supply compatibility simplifies panel design while the RM1 product designation ensures easy cross-reference within the Lovato range. Built for demanding environments, this relay conforms to IEC/EN 60947-2 and is engineered for long service with a mechanical life of 50,000,000 cycles. Clear terminal access with 0.5 Nm maximum tightening torque supports secure wiring, and an operating temperature from −10 to + 60 °C enhances versatility across control panels and distribution boards in industrial, commercial and OEM applications.
