Why Choose the Lovato BFA05070230 Star-Delta Starter?

The Lovato BFA05070230 is a robust open-frame star-delta motor starter designed for controlled starting of three-phase motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Lovato BFA series, it provides a complete contactor-based starting solution that helps reduce the current drawn during motor start-up compared with direct-on-line starting.

This assembled star-delta starter is designed for integration into industrial electrical panels and motor control systems. Its open-frame configuration combines the switching components required for star-delta starting, simplifying panel construction while providing dependable operation for demanding motor applications.

With a maximum IEC operational current of 85 A and a 230 V AC 50/60 Hz control voltage, the BFA05070230 is designed for industrial three-phase motor starting applications where reduced starting current and reliable contactor switching are required.

Reliable Reduced-Current Starting for Industrial Motors

Star-delta starters such as the Lovato BFA05070230 start compatible three-phase motors initially in a star configuration before switching to delta operation. This method reduces the voltage applied across each motor winding during start-up, helping to limit starting current and reduce electrical and mechanical stress.

The BFA series provides an assembled solution for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation engineers who require dependable electromechanical motor starting. Its open-frame construction is designed for installation within an appropriate electrical enclosure or control cabinet.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial three-phase motor starting systems.
  • Pumps, fans and ventilation equipment.
  • Compressors and processing machinery.
  • Conveyors and material handling systems.
  • Manufacturing and production machinery.
  • OEM electrical panels and industrial automation systems.
