Why Choose the Lovato BF2600L024 Three-Pole Contactor?

The Lovato BF2600L024 is a compact and reliable three-pole power contactor designed for switching motors and electrical loads in industrial control and automation systems. As part of the Lovato BF series, it combines a 26 A AC-3 operational current rating with a low-consumption 24 V DC coil for efficient control.

This contactor is designed for dependable switching in motor control panels, machinery and industrial automation equipment. Its three main poles provide reliable control of three-phase loads, while the low-consumption DC coil requires only 2.4 W during operation. Screw terminals and compatibility with 35 mm DIN rail mounting simplify installation inside electrical panels.

With an IEC AC-3 operational current rating of 26 A and rated operational power of 13 kW at 400 V, the BF2600L024 is well suited to three-phase motor switching applications. Its 24 V DC low-consumption coil makes it particularly suitable for integration with industrial control systems where efficient DC control is required.
