Why Choose the Lovato P5X1011UL Auxiliary Contact?
The Lovato P5X1011UL is an auxiliary contact accessory with 1 changeover contact designed for compatible Lovato P5M moulded case circuit breakers. It provides an electrical indication of the circuit breaker's operating position, allowing breaker status to be integrated into control, signalling and monitoring circuits.
The 1 C/O (1NO + 1NC) contact arrangement gives control-system designers both normally open and normally closed signalling options from a single auxiliary contact assembly. This makes the P5X1011UL useful for remote breaker status indication, interlocking and interface functions within industrial switchboards and electrical distribution panels.
The UL version is intended for compatible P5M installations requiring the corresponding UL accessory configuration. Its dedicated MCCB accessory design enables integration within the breaker assembly without requiring a separate external position-sensing device.

Circuit Breaker Status Signalling for Control and Monitoring Systems
Auxiliary contacts allow the mechanical state of a moulded case circuit breaker to be represented electrically within a control system. This enables remote indication and permits breaker position information to be incorporated into PLC inputs, indicator circuits, alarms and electrical interlocks where suitable interface ratings are observed.
The Lovato P5X1011UL provides one changeover contact, giving designers access to complementary normally open and normally closed contact states. As a purpose-designed accessory for compatible P5M breakers, it provides a clean and integrated method of adding breaker-status feedback to industrial power-distribution equipment.
Typical Applications
- Remote MCCB status indication.
- Industrial switchboards and distribution panels.
- PLC and automation-system breaker monitoring.
- Electrical interlocking circuits.
- Alarm and annunciation systems.
- Machine electrical panels.
- Power-distribution monitoring systems.
- Compatible UL-oriented Lovato P5M installations.
