Why Choose the Lovato RFA823300 Motor Protection Relay?

The Lovato RFA823300 is a three-pole thermal overload motor protection relay designed to protect three-phase motors against overload, phase failure and single-phasing conditions. Part of the Lovato RFA82 motor protection relay range, it provides an adjustable operational current range of 20–33 A and is designed for direct mounting on Lovato BF40–BF94 contactors.

The RFA823300 features automatic resetting, allowing the relay to reset automatically after an overload trip once operating conditions permit. Its phase-failure sensitivity, Class 10A tripping characteristic, test button and trip indicator provide practical protection and status indication for industrial motor control systems.

With a rated operational voltage and insulation voltage of 690 V, an 8 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and an operational frequency range of 0–400 Hz, the RFA823300 is engineered for industrial motor starter applications. Its direct BF contactor mounting provides a compact installation within electrical control panels and machinery.
