Why Choose the Lovato ME070RSD024 Electronic Reversing Starter?
The Lovato ME070RSD024 is a compact and highly capable electronic reversing motor starter designed for forward and reverse control of three-phase asynchronous motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Lovato ME electronic motor starter series, it combines electronic motor switching, adjustable thermal protection and functional safety within a single compact device.
This starter incorporates Class 10A electronic motor thermal protection with an adjustable current range of 1.5–7 A, helping protect connected motors against overload conditions without requiring a separate thermal overload relay. Its built-in Safe Torque Off (STO) function provides a safety-rated means of preventing motor torque, achieving SIL3 according to IEC 61508 and Performance Level PL e according to ISO 13849-1.
With a rated operational current of 7 A, a motor rating of 3 kW at 400 V and an operational voltage range of 40–500 V AC, the ME070RSD024 is suitable for a wide range of industrial motor-control applications. A 24 V DC auxiliary and control supply makes integration with PLCs and modern machine-control systems straightforward.

Reliable Reversing Motor Control for Industrial Machinery
Electronic reversing starters allow three-phase motors to operate in both forward and reverse directions while replacing several conventional electromechanical switching and protection components with a compact electronic solution. This makes the Lovato ME070RSD024 particularly suitable for machinery requiring frequent directional control while helping reduce control-panel space and wiring complexity.
The integrated thermal motor protection continuously supports protection of the connected motor, while the adjustable 1.5–7 A setting enables the starter to be matched to the motor’s rated current. Built-in STO functionality provides an important machine-safety function by preventing torque generation without relying solely on conventional switching arrangements.
Typical Applications
- Forward and reverse conveyor systems.
- Material handling and sorting equipment.
- Automatic doors and access systems.
- Augers, feeders and hoppers.
- Machine tools and production machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Escalators and automated movement systems.
