Lovato Electric SM1P1000 Motor Protection Circuit Breaker 6.3-10A 400V

The Lovato Electric SM1P1000 is a professional-grade motor protection circuit breaker engineered to provide robust safety and control for electric motors in various industrial and commercial applications. This device is specifically designed to monitor current flow and disconnect the circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit, thereby preventing damage to the motor and associated electrical infrastructure. With its precise thermal release adjustment and high breaking capacity, it serves as a critical component for maintaining operational continuity and safety in demanding electrical environments.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the Lovato Electric SM1P1000 lies in its high breaking capacity of 100kA at 400V, which ensures reliable performance even under significant fault conditions. The adjustable thermal release range of 6.3-10A allows for precise calibration to match the specific current requirements of the connected motor, providing tailored protection that minimizes the risk of nuisance tripping while ensuring rapid response to genuine overloads. Its compact and durable design facilitates easy integration into standard control panels, while the integrated push-button interface allows for straightforward manual operation and status monitoring.

Suitable for

• Industrial motor control centers
• Commercial HVAC systems
• Pumping stations and irrigation equipment
• Conveyor belt systems and automated machinery
• General electrical distribution boards

When it may not be suitable

This circuit breaker is not intended for use in circuits where the motor current falls outside the 6.3-10A range, as it will not provide the necessary protection. It is also not suitable for high-voltage applications exceeding its rated operational voltage or for environments requiring specific ingress protection ratings not provided by the standard housing.

Key specifications

• Thermal release adjustment range: 6.3-10A
• Rated operational voltage: 400V
• Breaking capacity: 100kA
• Protection type: Overload and short circuit
• Operation type: Manual push-button

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. The device is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within an electrical enclosure. Once mounted, the power supply cables are connected to the input terminals, and the motor leads are connected to the output terminals. After installation, the thermal release dial must be set to the specific full-load current rating of the motor being protected. The device can then be switched on or off manually using the integrated push-buttons.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the motor full-load current falls within the 6.3-10A range.
• Ensure the enclosure provides adequate environmental protection for the installation site.
• Check that the system voltage is compatible with the 400V rating.
• Confirm space availability on the DIN rail within your control panel.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the device for signs of wear or thermal damage and perform periodic testing of the tripping mechanism to ensure continued reliability in your electrical system.
