Why Choose the Lovato RFA826500 Motor Protection Relay?
The Lovato RFA826500 is a three-pole thermal overload motor protection relay designed to protect three-phase motors against overload and phase failure conditions. Part of the Lovato RFA82 motor protection relay range, it provides an adjustable operational current range of 46–65 A and is designed for direct mounting on Lovato BF40–BF94 contactors.
The RFA826500 is phase-failure and single-phase sensitive and features automatic resetting for applications requiring the relay to reset automatically after a trip. Its Class 10A tripping characteristic, integrated test button and trip indicator provide practical motor protection, commissioning and fault indication functionality.
With a rated operational and insulation voltage of 690 V, an 8 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and an operational frequency range of 0–400 Hz, the RFA826500 is engineered for industrial motor starter applications. Its direct mounting arrangement enables compact integration with compatible BF contactors inside electrical control panels and machinery.
