About Lovato Electric Switchgear and Control Gear

Lovato Electric builds the components that fill a motor control panel. The core is the BF contactor series, spanning small three-pole contactors for individual motors up to larger frames for main switching duties, with matched thermal and electronic overload relays, auxiliary contact blocks such as the BFX range, mechanical interlocks, surge suppressors and star-delta assemblies. Alongside those sit motor protection circuit breakers, manual motor starters and enclosed direct-on-line and star-delta starters. The control and signalling side covers the 8LM and LPX platforms of pushbuttons, selector switches, emergency stops, indicator lamps and their contact and lamp blocks, built up from separate operator heads, holders and elements. Cam and changeover switches in the GA and GX families handle isolation, ammeter switching and generator changeover. The measurement side includes digital multimeters, energy meters, current transformers and automatic power factor controllers for capacitor bank cabinets. Coil voltage, contact configuration and pole count are all carried in the catalogue code rather than being options set at installation.

Lovato Electric Switchgear and Control Gear in Saudi Arabia

Lovato components are common in panels built for the Saudi market, both by local panel shops and by machinery importers. They appear in motor control centres and pump control panels at water treatment and desalination plants, in irrigation and borehole pumping installations, in food and beverage and plastics factories, in cement and aggregate plants, and in building services panels for chillers, fire pumps and lifts. Power factor controllers and their contactors fill capacitor cabinets on sites correcting a poor power factor against the utility tariff. The Kingdom's supply is 380/400 V at 60 Hz, so contactor coils and timers should be specified for 60 Hz operation, and pilot lamp and coil voltages need to match the panel's control voltage rather than being assumed. Enclosure ambient temperature is the second factor: thermal overload relays trip on temperature, and a relay set at the motor's full-load current in a hot outdoor kiosk will nuisance trip unless the panel is ventilated.

Ordering and lead time

Quote the full catalogue code as printed on the device, for example BF18T4A230, BFX1011, GA125A or 11SM1B48. The code carries the frame size, the pole count, the contact arrangement and, for contactors, the coil voltage and frequency, so BF18T4A230 and the same contactor with a different coil are separate items. State the control voltage in the panel and confirm 60 Hz. For overload relays, give the motor full-load current so the adjustment range covers it, and say which contactor frame the relay must mount on, since relays are matched to frames. For pushbuttons and pilot lights, list the operator head, the holder and each contact or lamp element separately, because they are ordered as a kit of parts. For power factor controllers, give the number of steps and the current transformer ratio. Items are sourced to order, typically three weeks, and delivered duty-paid.

Specifications are taken from the supplier's published catalogue data. Confirm against the manufacturer's current datasheet before ordering.
