Historic and modern Lovato Electric facilities

A brief history of Lovato Electric

Lovato Electric has grown from a maker of electromechanical devices to a global supplier covering motor control, protection and energy management.

  • 1920s — Company established in Italy, focusing on industrial control components.
  • 1950s–60s — Expansion of pushbuttons, cam switches and contactor lines for machinery builders.
  • 1970s–80s — Motor protection circuit breakers (e.g. SM series) and a broader contactor/overload ecosystem.
  • 1990s — Digital metering and power monitoring products begin, complementing core control gear.
  • 2000s — Soft starters, changeover solutions and automation accessories broaden application coverage.
  • 2010s — DMG analysers and DCRL power factor controllers adopt advanced communications for integration.
  • 2020s — Connected offerings and software tools enhance commissioning, energy visibility and support.

LED Controls stocks commonly specified Lovato products in the UK and can source the wider catalogue quickly on request.

Lovato Frequently Asked Questions

We stock popular ranges and ratings, provide fast delivery and offer practical engineering support on selection and commissioning. You get genuine products and responsive aftercare.

Yes. Share motor nameplate data and duty details and we will specify an SM1 MPCB, a BF contactor, overload options and any auxiliaries or enclosures you need.

GX models are available in on-off and changeover versions with padlockable handles and enclosed bodies. Select the current rating and duty to match your application and check the datasheet for approvals.

Choose RS-485 or Ethernet variants and log to your SCADA or to Lovato software. We can advise on CT selection, wiring and communications setup.

Use a soft starter when you need gentle starts and stops with reduced mechanical stress and inrush current. Choose a variable speed drive when you also want process speed control and energy savings during operation.

Many items are available for next working day delivery subject to stock. Lead times are confirmed at checkout or on enquiry.

Yes. Share the part number and we will send the matching datasheet and any installation notes. We can also help with selection.

An MPCB combines short-circuit and adjustable thermal protection for motors and supports coordination with contactors. An MCB protects cables and circuits but is not optimised for motor starting currents.

DOL is simple and compact for small to medium motors where inrush is acceptable. Star-delta reduces starting current and torque, typically for larger motors with suitable windings and when the load allows reduced start torque.

Yes. Models with RS-485 use Modbus RTU and Ethernet variants support common protocols. We can help you choose the correct communications option and wiring.

Start from your site kvar requirement, choose the number of steps, then select a DCRL model with enough steps and the correct CT ratio. We can assist with kvar sizing, switching method and harmonic considerations.

Selected models support inside-the-delta, which reduces the starter current rating for the same motor. Check the datasheet for your exact model.

Yes. Enclosed DOL and star-delta starters are offered with IP rated enclosures. Choose the enclosure and pushbutton layout to suit your environment.

Yes. Send your bill of materials and target dates and we will quote project pricing and lead times.

Often yes. Provide the existing part numbers and application details and we will cross-reference equivalents or suggest compatible alternatives with the correct ratings and accessories.
