Why Choose the Lovato BF38T4L048 Low-Consumption Four-Pole Contactor?

The Lovato BF38T4L048 is a high-performance four-pole power contactor designed for reliable electrical load switching in industrial machinery, control panels and automation systems. As part of the Lovato BF38 contactor series, it features four normally open (4NO) main contacts and a low-consumption 48 V DC coil.

With an IEC AC-1 current rating of 56 A, the BF38T4L048 provides dependable four-pole switching for industrial power circuits. Its low-consumption coil design reduces control circuit power demand, making it particularly suitable for automation equipment and applications where efficient contactor operation is required.

The BF38T4L048 has a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and uses screw terminals for secure electrical connections. Its compact format supports installation on a DIN rail inside electrical control panels, providing a practical switching solution for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation engineers.
