£1,404.66
The Lovato BF230T4E400 is a robust and high-performance four-pole power contactor designed for reliable switching of high-current electrical loads in industrial control, distribution and automation systems. As part of the Lovato BF series contactor range, it combines a high AC-1 current rating with an electronically controlled wide-range AC/DC coil for flexible integration into industrial control panels.
This contactor provides an IEC conventional free-air thermal current (Ith) and AC-1 operational current of 350 A at up to 40 °C, making it particularly suitable for switching resistive and other non-inductive or slightly inductive loads. Its four-pole configuration enables simultaneous switching across four conductors, while screw fixing provides secure installation within electrical panels and switchgear assemblies.
The BF230T4E400 features a 250–500 V AC/DC rated control coil, allowing the same contactor to operate across a broad range of AC and DC control voltages. It also provides an AC-3 operational current of 230 A at 400 V, corresponding to a rated operational motor power of 110 kW at 400 V.
Power contactors such as the Lovato BF230T4E400 provide electrically controlled switching of high-current circuits, allowing low-power control systems to safely operate industrial loads. The four-pole arrangement makes this model particularly useful where four conductors must be switched simultaneously in power distribution, heating, lighting and industrial control applications.
The BF series is engineered for dependable operation in demanding industrial environments. The BF230T4E400 combines a high AC-1 current capacity with a wide-range AC/DC coil, high insulation voltage and long mechanical operating life, making it suitable for integration into switchboards, machinery and automated electrical control systems.
