Why Choose the Lovato 51ADX0060B Soft Starter?
The Lovato 51ADX0060B is an advanced three-phase soft starter designed for controlled starting and stopping of asynchronous three-phase motors in demanding industrial applications. As part of the Lovato Electric ADX...B series, it is designed for severe-duty starting applications with a starting current of up to 5 × Ie.
This soft starter provides torque or voltage ramp starting with current limitation, together with an integrated bypass contactor. Once the motor has completed its start, the built-in bypass helps reduce power dissipation, while motor current thermal protection, torque control, kick start, dynamic braking, PTC input and event logging support reliable motor operation and commissioning.
With a rated starter current of 60 A, the 51ADX0060B supports IEC motor ratings of 15 kW at 230 V AC, 30 kW at 400 V AC and 37 kW at 500 V AC. Its three-phase 208–500 V AC operating range and advanced motor-control functions make it suitable for severe-duty industrial machinery and automation systems.

Controlled Starting for Three-Phase Motors
Soft starters such as the Lovato 51ADX0060B progressively control motor starting rather than applying full supply voltage immediately. Its torque or voltage ramp starting modes with current limitation provide controlled acceleration for asynchronous three-phase motors and help manage starting current in severe-duty industrial applications.
The integrated bypass contactor reduces power dissipation once the motor has completed its start, while torque ramp, voltage ramp and free-wheel stopping modes provide flexibility for different machinery requirements. Motor current thermal protection, PTC input, kick start, dynamic braking and event logging further enhance motor control and diagnostics.
Typical Applications
- Industrial pumps and pumping systems.
- Fans and ventilation equipment.
- Compressors and process machinery.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Industrial production machinery.
- Three-phase asynchronous motor systems requiring severe-duty starting.
