Why Choose the Lovato P5X1011 Auxiliary Contact?
The Lovato P5X1011 is an add-on auxiliary contact designed for use with compatible Lovato P5ME IEC moulded case circuit breakers. As part of the Lovato P5 MCCB accessory range, it provides one changeover contact for electrically signalling the operating status of the circuit breaker to external control, monitoring and automation systems.
The P5X1011 features a 1 C/O changeover contact and screw terminals for secure field wiring. It is designed to snap mount beneath the front cover of compatible P5 moulded case circuit breakers, allowing auxiliary status signalling to be added without requiring a separate externally mounted switching device.
With an IEC conventional free-air thermal current rating of 5 A and a rated insulation voltage of 250 V, the P5X1011 is suitable for industrial control and indication circuits. The contact is rated at 3 A at 250 V AC and 0.2 A at 250 V DC, while its compact internal mounting arrangement helps maintain an efficient switchboard layout.

Reliable Status Signalling for P5 Moulded Case Circuit Breakers
Auxiliary contacts such as the Lovato P5X1011 provide an electrical indication corresponding to the operating state of a compatible moulded case circuit breaker. The changeover contact can be incorporated into control and monitoring circuits so that breaker status can be communicated to PLC inputs, indicator lamps, alarm systems, building management equipment or other automation devices.
The P5X1011 installs beneath the front cover of the MCCB, providing an integrated solution without requiring a separate external auxiliary switch. Its changeover configuration gives panel builders flexibility when designing normally open or normally closed signalling functions, while screw terminals simplify connection to the surrounding control system.
Typical Applications
- MCCB ON/OFF status indication circuits.
- Industrial switchboard monitoring.
- PLC and automation system inputs.
- Remote electrical status indication.
- Alarm and interlocking circuits.
- Industrial power distribution and control panels.
