Why Choose the Lovato 11B25040048 Four-Pole Contactor?

The Lovato 11B25040048 is a heavy-duty four-pole power contactor designed for dependable switching of high-current electrical loads in industrial automation, power distribution and control systems. As part of the robust Lovato B250 contactor series, it is suitable for panel builders, OEM machine manufacturers and electrical engineers requiring reliable power switching.

This contactor combines four normally open main contacts with an electronically controlled AC/DC coil, helping provide consistent operation, high electrical endurance and long mechanical service life. Its durable construction and bolt-connected main terminals make it suitable for demanding industrial installations.

With a conventional thermal current rating of 350 A, an AC-3 operational current of 265 A and a 48 V AC/DC control coil, the 11B25040048 is ideal for switching motors, resistive loads and high-power electrical equipment.

Reliable Industrial Power Switching

Power contactors such as the Lovato 11B25040048 allow high-current electrical loads to be switched using a lower-power control signal. This enables motors, heating systems and industrial equipment to be operated remotely through control panels, PLC systems and automated machinery.

The four-pole configuration allows multiple conductors or circuits to be switched simultaneously. Its 48 V AC/DC coil supports both alternating-current and direct-current control systems, while the high current ratings make it suitable for demanding industrial power applications.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial motor control centres.
  • Power distribution panels and switchboards.
  • Heating and resistive load control.
  • HVAC and ventilation equipment.
  • OEM machinery and production equipment.
  • Industrial automation and process-control systems.
