Pumps, fans and conveyors in wet or wash-down areas need motor protection and a local start/stop right at the machine. The Lovato SM1P1800KIT pairs an SM1P1800 push-button manual motor starter (motor protection circuit breaker), adjustable from 13 to 18 A, with a Type 4X enclosure. The breaker gives thermal overload, magnetic short-circuit and phase-failure protection in one device.
Why maintenance electricians pick it
- Thermal overload adjustable 13-18 A, magnetic trip at 13 x In.
- Trip class 10 with phase failure sensitivity against single-phasing.
- UL/CSA HP ratings up to 5 HP at 208/240 V and 10 HP at 480 V three-phase.
- Type 4X enclosure for wash-down, corrosive and outdoor locations.
- cULus marked; conforms to UL 508 and CSA C22.2 No. 14.

Pro tip from the counter
On a single-phase motor, have the electrician route the circuit through all three poles in series, for example line through pole 1, jumper pole 1 load to pole 2 line, and so on. Using only two poles leaves the third without current, and the phase-failure detection can read that as a lost phase and trip the starter.
Best for: pumps and fans in wash-down areas, conveyors and packaging lines, outdoor motor disconnects, food and beverage plants, small 480 V motors
