Why Choose the Lovato M3P03812400B5 Direct-On-Line Starter?

The Lovato M3P03812400B5 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) motor starter designed for straightforward starting and protection of three-phase AC motors in industrial machinery, pumps, fans and automation systems. Part of the Lovato M3P starter range, it combines the essential motor switching and overload-protection functions in a practical enclosed assembly.

Rated for motor currents up to 38 A, the M3P03812400B5 is designed for three-phase motor applications where full supply voltage can be applied directly to the motor during starting. The integrated contactor provides reliable switching, while the thermal overload relay protects the connected motor against sustained overload conditions and phase-loss related overcurrent.

This version is configured for a 400 V AC, 50/60 Hz control supply. Its enclosed construction and local control arrangement make it suitable for machinery and industrial installations requiring a convenient, ready-configured DOL starter rather than individually assembling the contactor, overload relay and enclosure.

Key Advantages

  • Complete direct-on-line starter for three-phase AC motors.
  • Designed for motor currents up to 38 A.
  • 400 V AC, 50/60 Hz control supply.
  • Integrated contactor provides dependable motor switching.
  • Thermal overload protection helps protect the connected motor against sustained overloads.
  • Enclosed construction simplifies installation compared with assembling separate starter components.
  • Suitable for industrial machinery, pumps, fans and material-handling equipment.
  • Lovato Electric components provide coordinated motor-control functionality.

Key Features

  • Lovato M3P enclosed DOL starter series.
  • Direct-on-line motor starting.
  • 38 A maximum starter current.
  • 400 V AC control voltage.
  • 50/60 Hz control frequency.
  • Three-phase motor switching configuration.
  • Integrated contactor and thermal overload relay arrangement.
  • Local starter control for convenient motor operation.
  • Enclosed format for industrial installations.
  • Designed for fixed motor-control applications.

Reliable Direct-On-Line Motor Starting

Direct-on-line starters connect a three-phase motor directly to the electrical supply through a contactor, providing a simple and dependable starting method where the motor and electrical network can accommodate full-voltage starting current. This approach is widely used for fixed-speed industrial motors because of its straightforward operation and robust switching arrangement.

The Lovato M3P03812400B5 combines the switching contactor, overload-protection function and enclosure into a coordinated starter assembly. This reduces the number of individual components that need to be selected and assembled while providing a practical solution for motors requiring conventional DOL starting and local control.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial pumps and pumping systems.
  • Fans and ventilation equipment.
  • Compressors and auxiliary machinery.
  • Conveyors and material handling equipment.
  • Machine tools and production machinery.
  • Industrial process equipment.
  • Fixed-speed three-phase motor applications.
  • OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
