Why Choose the Lovato DOLS7.5230SP 7.5 kW Direct-On-Line Starter?
The Lovato DOLS7.5230SP is a plastic-enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) motor starter designed for straightforward starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors. Rated for applications up to 7.5 kW, it combines a Lovato heavy-duty contactor with Start/Stop controls in a compact insulated enclosure.
This version features a 230 V AC control coil and an 18 A contactor rating, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial motor-control applications. The insulated enclosure provides protection for the internal switching components while allowing the starter to be installed conveniently alongside machinery, pumps and other motor-driven equipment.
The DOLS7.5230SP is intended to be used with a correctly selected thermal overload relay matched to the motor full-load current. This modular arrangement allows the starter's overload protection to be tailored to the actual motor rather than relying on a fixed overload setting.
Key Advantages
- 7.5 kW DOL motor starter for industrial motor-control applications.

Straightforward Direct-On-Line Motor Control
A direct-on-line starter switches the motor directly onto the supply through a contactor, providing a simple and widely used method of controlling fixed-speed induction motors. The Lovato DOLS7.5230SP provides local Start and Stop control in an enclosed format, with its 230 V AC control coil operating the contactor used to switch the motor circuit.
For complete motor overload protection, a compatible thermal overload relay should be selected according to the motor's nameplate full-load current and installed in accordance with the application requirements. This allows the DOL starter to be configured specifically for the connected motor while retaining the convenience of an enclosed Lovato starter assembly.
Typical Applications
- Industrial pumps and pumping systems.
- Fans and ventilation equipment.
- Compressors and fixed-speed machinery.
- Conveyors and materials-handling equipment.
- Workshop and manufacturing machinery.
