Why Choose the Lovato BFX3271 Changeover Connection Kit?
The Lovato BFX3271 is a rigid connecting kit for changeover contactor assemblies, specifically designed for Lovato BF26…T4 and BF38…T4 four-pole contactors. It provides the predefined power connections required when assembling a compact four-pole changeover arrangement, reducing the need to fabricate and route individual flexible conductors between the contactors.
The BFX3271 is designed for use with two compatible four-pole BF contactors combined with a Lovato BFX5000 or BFX5001 mechanical interlock. The resulting arrangement is suitable for changeover applications where two supplies are switched to a common load while the mechanical interlock prevents simultaneous operation of the two contactors.
For IEC applications, the BFX3271 has a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 55 A at up to 40 °C. The kit is also cULus certified and has a UL rated operational voltage of 600 V AC, providing a manufacturer-engineered connection solution for industrial changeover panels, transfer systems and power-control assemblies.

Efficient Changeover Connections for Industrial Automation
The Lovato BFX3271 simplifies the construction of a four-pole changeover assembly by providing rigid, purpose-designed electrical connections between compatible BF26…T4 or BF38…T4 contactors. Compared with individually measuring, cutting and routing flexible power conductors, the preformed kit can reduce assembly work while helping maintain a neat and consistent panel layout.
When used with a BFX5000 or BFX5001 mechanical interlock, two compatible contactors can form a mechanically interlocked changeover arrangement. This type of assembly is commonly used where a load must be transferred between two electrical sources, including automatic transfer, generator and standby-power control systems.
Typical Applications
Four-pole changeover contactor assemblies.
Mains and generator changeover systems.
Automatic transfer switching assemblies.
Standby and emergency power systems.
Industrial switchboards and distribution panels.
Generator control and transfer panels.
Building services power-control systems.
OEM industrial automation and power-switching equipment.
