The Lovato 51ADX1200 is a heavy-duty three-phase ADX soft starter designed for controlled starting and stopping of very large asynchronous motors in demanding industrial applications. Part of the Lovato ADX severe-duty soft starter series, this advanced motor controller provides smooth acceleration, reduced starting current and improved protection for high-power motor-driven equipment.
Designed for large industrial plants, OEM machinery and automation systems, the 51ADX1200 provides advanced motor management functions including current limiting, torque control, kick start, dynamic braking, motor thermal protection, PTC input monitoring, event logging and RS232 communication. The unit is predisposed for connection to an external bypass contactor, allowing efficient motor operation after acceleration while supporting flexible electrical panel designs.
With a 1200 A rated starter current, three-phase 208–415 V AC operation, and motor ratings up to approximately 710 kW at 400 V AC and 800 kW at 500 V AC, the Lovato 51ADX1200 is suitable for large pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and heavy industrial machinery requiring reliable soft starting and motor protection.
Soft starters such as the Lovato 51ADX1200 gradually control motor voltage and current during startup, reducing high inrush currents and minimising mechanical shock. This helps extend motor life, protect connected equipment and improve overall system reliability.
The ADX series provides advanced motor control beyond basic voltage ramp starting, offering torque management, current limitation, dynamic braking and detailed monitoring functions. The external bypass contactor configuration allows efficient running operation after acceleration while supporting custom industrial panel designs.
