Why Choose the Lovato BF9400E230 3-Pole Contactor?

The Lovato BF9400E230 is a high-performance 3-pole power contactor designed for reliable motor switching and industrial power-control applications. Part of the Lovato BF contactor series, it provides an IEC AC-3 operational current rating of 94 A and features a wide-range electronic 100–250 V AC/DC control coil.

Designed for demanding industrial machinery and automation systems, the BF9400E230 combines three normally open main power contacts with an electronically controlled AC/DC coil. The wide control-voltage range provides flexibility when integrating the contactor into modern industrial control architectures, while its compact construction supports efficient use of panel space.

For three-phase motor-control duties, the BF9400E230 provides an AC-3 operational power rating of 55 kW at 400 V. Its robust BF94 platform is also suitable for appropriate resistive and slightly inductive load switching, making it a versatile choice for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation installations.
