Why Choose the Lovato 11B250L00220C220 Three-Pole Mechanically Latched Contactor?
The Lovato 11B250L00220C220 is a heavy-duty three-pole industrial power contactor designed for reliable switching of high-current electrical loads in motor control, automation and power distribution systems. Part of the established Lovato B250 contactor series, it is suitable for panel builders, OEM machine manufacturers and industrial electrical professionals requiring dependable maintained switching.
This contactor features an electronically controlled 220–240 V AC/DC operating coil and is supplied with a factory-fitted Lovato G495 mechanical latch. The latch is electrically released by a dedicated 220–240 V DC release coil, allowing the contactor to remain in its operating position without continuous energisation of the main coil.
With an IEC AC-3 operational current rating of 265 A and three normally open main power poles, the 11B250L00220C220 is suitable for controlling large three-phase motors and high-current industrial circuits where mechanically maintained contact operation is required.

Reliable Mechanically Latched Power Switching
Mechanically latched contactors remain in their selected operating position after the closing control signal has been removed. This reduces continuous control-coil power consumption and helps maintain the required switching state during temporary interruptions to the control supply.
The Lovato 11B250L00220C220 uses separate electrical commands for closing and releasing the contactor. Its 220–240 V AC/DC operating coil closes the main contacts, while the dedicated 220–240 V DC release coil disengages the mechanical latch when the controlled circuit needs to be opened.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor control centres.
- Power distribution and switchgear systems.
- Load-shedding and energy-management equipment.
- Pumps, fans and conveyor systems.
- Industrial automation and production machinery.
- Applications requiring maintained contactor operation.
