The Lovato BF9500E230 is a heavy-duty three-pole power contactor designed for dependable control of three-phase motors and industrial electrical loads. Part of the Lovato BF95 series, it provides an IEC AC-3 operational current rating of 95 A at up to 440 V, making it suitable for demanding motor starters, machinery and automated production equipment.
For motor-control applications, the BF9500E230 supports three-phase motors up to 55 kW at 400–440 V AC. Its high-current construction also makes it suitable for general industrial load switching, with a conventional free-air thermal and AC-1 current rating of 140 A at up to 40 °C.
This BF9500E230 version incorporates a wide-range electronic 100–250 V AC/DC control coil, covering nominal 230 V AC/DC control applications and supporting 50/60 Hz AC supplies. With a 1000 V rated insulation voltage, 8 kV impulse withstand rating and robust industrial construction, it provides flexible integration into motor-control centres, switchboards and automation panels.
The Lovato BF9500E230 provides electromagnetic switching between industrial control circuitry and high-current three-phase motor loads. Its electronic 100–250 V AC/DC coil enables the same contactor to operate from AC or DC control supplies, while the three normally open main contacts simultaneously switch all three phases of the connected power circuit.
With a 95 A AC-3 rating, 55 kW motor capacity at 400 V AC and 140 A AC-1 rating, the BF9500E230 is suited to substantial pumps, compressors, conveyors, fans and production machinery. Its high switching capacity and industrial construction make it a practical choice for motor-control centres, OEM machinery and automated manufacturing systems.
