The LOVATO Electric 11B3100048 is a heavy-duty three-pole industrial contactor engineered for reliable switching of high-power three-phase motors and industrial electrical loads. As part of the proven LOVATO B310 contactor series, it delivers a rated operational current of 320 A (AC-3), making it ideal for demanding motor control and automation applications.
This version is equipped with a versatile 48 V AC/DC control coil, allowing seamless integration into both AC and DC control circuits. Its robust construction, long mechanical life and compliance with international standards make it suitable for industrial control panels, motor control centres and OEM machinery.
Designed for dependable operation in demanding environments, the 11B3100048 offers high switching performance, screw-mount installation and compatibility with a wide range of industrial motor control applications where reliability and long service life are essential.
Industrial contactors provide safe and efficient switching of high-current electrical circuits by allowing a low-power control signal to operate high-power motor circuits. This enables motors to be controlled by PLCs, push buttons, safety relays and automated control systems while keeping the control circuit electrically isolated from the power circuit.
The LOVATO B310 series is designed for demanding industrial environments where long operating life, dependable switching and high current capacity are required. Its robust design makes it ideal for continuous-duty applications in manufacturing, processing and heavy industrial automation.
