The Lovato DCRM2 is a reactive current controller relay designed for
single-phase and three-phase low-voltage power factor correction systems. This
compact controller manages two capacitor bank switching steps to improve power
factor performance and reduce reactive power consumption in industrial and
commercial electrical installations.
Designed for reliable operation in electrical distribution panels, the DCRM2
provides automatic control of capacitor banks through contactor switching. It
supports 380–415 VAC auxiliary supply, true RMS measurement, and flexible
configuration for efficient reactive power management.
Why Choose the Lovato DCRM2?
Two-step reactive power control for capacitor bank management.
Suitable for both single-phase and three-phase low-voltage systems.
Automatic correction of reactive current to optimise power factor.
True RMS voltage and current measurement for accurate monitoring.
Compact DIN rail design for easy panel integration.
Reliable Lovato Electric quality for industrial applications.
