Why Choose the Lovato BFA01242024 Reversing Contactor Assembly?

The Lovato BFA01242024 is a compact and reliable reversing contactor assembly designed for forward and reverse control of three-phase AC motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Lovato BFA012 reversing contactor range, it provides a factory-assembled solution with an external interlock plus power and auxiliary wiring for straightforward integration into motor control panels.

The BFA01242024 uses an AC-operated coil and is supplied in an open-frame configuration with the external interlock and associated wiring already incorporated. This reduces the amount of assembly and wiring required when constructing reversing motor circuits, helping simplify panel building and commissioning.

With an AC-3 operational current of 12 A, a rated motor power of 5.7 kW at 400 V and a 24 V AC 50/60 Hz control supply, the BFA01242024 is suited to industrial motor reversing applications. Its ratings extend to 10 kW at 690 V, providing a versatile solution across a range of three-phase motor supply voltages.

Key Advantages

  • Complete reversing contactor assembly for forward and reverse motor control.
  • 12 A AC-3 operational current at up to 440 V and 55 °C.
  • 5.7 kW motor rating at 400 V for industrial three-phase motors.
  • 24 V AC 50/60 Hz coil for common industrial control circuits.
  • External interlock with power and auxiliary wiring already incorporated.
  • Open-frame construction designed for integration into electrical control panels.

Reliable Forward and Reverse Motor Control

Reversing contactor assemblies such as the Lovato BFA01242024 allow the direction of a compatible three-phase motor to be changed by reversing the phase sequence applied to the motor. The interlocked contactor arrangement provides the switching configuration required for forward and reverse operation while preventing conflicting contactor operation.

The BFA01242024 combines an AC-3 operational current of 12 A with a 5.7 kW motor rating at 400 V and a 24 V AC 50/60 Hz control supply. Its preconfigured external interlock and power and auxiliary wiring make it particularly suitable for OEM machinery and industrial control panels where efficient installation and dependable directional motor control are required.

Typical Applications

  • Forward and reverse control of three-phase motors.
  • Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
  • Hoists and machinery requiring bidirectional motor operation.
  • Production and processing equipment.
  • OEM automation and machine-building applications.
  • Industrial motor control panels and switchgear.
