Lovato RF380650 4-6.5 A Thermal Overload Relay

Name: Lovato RF380650 Overload Relay | Seven Star LLC
Brand: Lovato Electric
SKU: RF380650

Description

Thermal overload protection for motors drawing 4-6.5 A

A motor needing overload protection in the 4-6.5 A band can use the RF380650, a thermal relay of the Lovato Electric RF38 family with phase-failure detection and a trip indicator.

Tripping class is 10A, the reset mode is manual or automatic, and the auxiliary contact block provides 1 NO and 1 NC for the control circuit. Insulation voltage is 690 V.

Choosing the setting range

The correct relay is the one whose 4-6.5 A range contains the nameplate current with some margin to adjust either way. The tripping class (10A) decides how long a starting overload is tolerated.

Short-circuit protection is separate: the datasheet quotes 16 A gG and 8 A aM as maximum fuse sizes for this relay.

Mounting and use

Typical use is the overload protection leg of a direct-on-line starter for pumps, fans and conveyors. The NC auxiliary contact opens the contactor coil circuit on a trip and the NO contact can drive an alarm.

Terminals are screw and washer. Operating and storage temperature limits are in the table; if the relay sits in a hotter place than the motor, set the dial with that in mind.

For panel design and commissioning, the practical figures to keep at hand are: terminals type screw and washer; terminals screw M4; terminals width 12.6 mm; terminals tool Phillips 2; auxiliary circuit type screw and washer; auxiliary circuit screw M3.5; auxiliary circuit width 8 mm; auxiliary circuit tool Phillips 2; operating temperature (min) -25 °C; operating temperature (max) 60 °C; storage temperature (min) -50 °C; storage temperature (max) 70 °C; max altitude 3000 m; operating position, normal Vertical plan. These come straight from the datasheet and are repeated here so that the key installation limits are visible without opening the PDF.

About brand

Lovato Electric is the Italian manufacturer of low-voltage electrical components for industrial automation and power distribution: contactors, motor protection circuit breakers, soft starters, variable speed drives, power factor controllers, transfer switch and generator controllers, and energy meters. It was founded in Bergamo in 1922 and has been run by the same family for four generations. Its headquarters is in Gorle, near Bergamo, and it celebrated its centenary in 2022.

Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat. We list Lovato motor control, drives and power management products, and supply them to panel builders, contractors and maintenance teams in Oman and the GCC by order code.

Lovato order codes describe the product. On a contactor such as BF0910A230, "BF09" is the frame and rated current (9 A in AC-3), "10" is the built-in auxiliary contact (one normally open), "A" means an AC coil and "230" is the coil voltage. The coil voltage must match the control circuit exactly, so it is the most common detail to check when replacing one. For motors, a soft starter limits the inrush current at start and stop, while a variable speed drive controls the speed continuously and saves energy on pumps and fans that do not need full flow all the time.

Where Lovato products are used

In Oman and the GCC, Lovato components are built into motor control centres, pump and HVAC panels, capacitor banks for power factor correction, generator and ATS panels, and machine control panels for industry, water and buildings.

Ordering Lovato products: what we need

Send the full Lovato order code. For contactors and starters, confirm the coil or control voltage. For drives and soft starters, send the motor power, current and supply voltage. For power factor controllers, send the number of steps and the CT ratio.
