Why Choose the Lovato M3P02670230 Star-Delta Starter?
The Lovato M3P02670230 is an enclosed star-delta motor starter designed to reduce starting current during the acceleration of three-phase induction motors. Part of Lovato Electric’s electromechanical starter range, it combines the contactors, auxiliary contacts and control components required for star-delta starting within a robust enclosure.
The M3P02670230 has a maximum IEC operating current of 43 A and supports IEC motor powers of 11 kW at 230 V, 22 kW at 400–440 V and 25 kW at 500 V. The contactors use a 230 V AC 50/60 Hz coil voltage, while integrated START and STOP/RESET pushbuttons provide convenient local operation.
Designed for starting times of up to 12 seconds and a maximum of 30 operations per hour, the M3P02670230 provides controlled star-delta starting for suitable industrial motors. The enclosed starter has IP65 frontal protection and is supplied without a thermal overload relay, allowing a compatible Lovato RF38 series relay to be selected separately for the motor application.

Controlled Star-Delta Motor Starting
Star-delta starting reduces the current drawn during motor acceleration by initially connecting a compatible motor in star before changing to delta for normal operation. This makes the technique suitable for applications where reducing direct-on-line starting current is desirable and the connected motor is designed for star-delta starting.
The Lovato M3P02670230 integrates the required contactors and control components within an enclosed assembly. Its starting sequence supports a starting time of up to 12 seconds, with a maximum of 30 operations per hour, while a separately selected RF38 series thermal overload relay can provide motor overload protection appropriate to the application.
Typical Applications
- Industrial pumps and pumping systems.
- Fans and ventilation equipment.
- Compressors and process machinery.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Production and manufacturing machinery.
- Three-phase motors designed for star-delta starting.
