ADXNF038 Lovato SOFT STARTER 38A AUX 100-240VAC NFC

Why Choose the Lovato ADXNF038 Soft Starter?

The Lovato ADXNF038 is an ultra-compact ADXNF NFC soft starter designed for gradual starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous motors. It provides a reliable motor control solution for pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors and industrial machinery where smooth acceleration, reduced inrush current and lower mechanical stress are required.

As part of the Lovato ADXN soft starter series, the ADXNF038 features two-phase control, an integrated bypass relay, a built-in fan and NFC connectivity for programming by smartphone using the Lovato App. This allows parameters to be configured accurately and repeated across similar installations, helping panel builders and maintenance engineers simplify commissioning.

With a 38 A rated starter current, 208-600 V AC rated operational voltage and 100-240 V AC auxiliary supply, the ADXNF038 is ideal for compact motor control panels and standard industrial control circuits. Its NFC version combines straightforward installation with enhanced configuration flexibility for OEM machinery, automation panels and industrial motor control applications.

Smooth Motor Starting with NFC Configuration

Soft starters such as the Lovato ADXNF038 gradually increase motor voltage during start-up, helping to limit inrush current and reduce mechanical shock on belts, couplings, pumps and driven equipment. This supports smoother operation and can help extend the service life of motors and mechanical components.

The ADXNF NFC version provides enhanced configuration flexibility compared with a basic soft starter. Parameters can be programmed digitally using a smartphone, allowing settings to be stored, copied and transferred to other compatible ADXNF units for repeatable commissioning across multiple machines or control panels.

Typical Applications

• Pumps and water treatment systems.
• Fans and ventilation equipment.
• Conveyors and material handling systems.
• Compressors and industrial machinery.
• Packaging and production equipment.
• Motor control panels and OEM machine building.
• Applications requiring repeatable NFC parameter programming.
