Why Choose the Lovato M2P00911230A8 Direct-On-Line Starter?
The Lovato M2P00911230A8 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) motor starter designed for switching and protection of suitable three-phase motors. It combines a contactor with a motor protection circuit breaker in a robust insulated enclosure, providing overload and short-circuit protection as part of a coordinated motor-control solution.
This exact M2P configuration provides an adjustable motor-protection range of 4–6.5 A, with an IEC AC-3 operational rating of 6.5 A / 3 kW at 400 V. The contactor uses a 230 V AC 50/60 Hz coil, making the starter suitable for industrial control systems operating from this common control voltage.
With IP65 enclosure protection, Class 10A overload characteristics, temperature-compensated overload protection and an integrated short-circuit release, the M2P00911230A8 provides a compact solution for industrial machinery and motor-control applications requiring dependable direct starting and protection.

Reliable Motor Starting and Protection
A direct-on-line starter applies the supply directly to a suitable motor through a contactor, providing a straightforward and widely used method of motor starting. The Lovato M2P00911230A8 adds an integrated motor protection circuit breaker, combining the switching function with adjustable overload and short-circuit protection in a single enclosed assembly.
The 4–6.5 A adjustable protection range allows the motor protection device to be matched to the connected motor's rated current. Class 10A tripping, temperature compensation and a Type 2 conditional short-circuit current of 50 kA at 230 V and 400 V under the specified coordination conditions support dependable industrial motor protection.
Typical Applications
- Direct starting of suitable three-phase induction motors.
- Industrial pumps and ventilation fans.
- Conveyor and material-handling equipment.
- Machine tools and production machinery.
- Compressors and auxiliary industrial equipment within the starter ratings.
- OEM machinery using 230 V AC 50/60 Hz control circuits.
