Why Choose the Lovato 11BG1210A02460 BG12 Minicontactor?

The Lovato 11BG1210A02460 is a compact three-pole BG12 power minicontactor designed for reliable motor control and industrial load switching. It features 3 normally open main contacts together with an integrated 1 NO auxiliary contact, combining power and auxiliary switching functions in a compact device.

This specific version uses a 24 V AC, 60 Hz control coil and provides an AC-3 operational current rating of 12 A at up to 440 V. Its AC-3 motor power rating reaches 5.7 kW at 400 V and 6.2 kW at 415 V, making it suitable for a broad range of smaller three-phase motors.

The BG12 also provides a conventional free-air thermal current of 20 A, a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV. Screw terminals plus 35 mm DIN-rail or screw mounting make the contactor straightforward to integrate into industrial machinery, OEM equipment and motor-control panels.

Key Advantages

  • 12 A AC-3 operational current for three-phase motor switching.
  • 5.7 kW AC-3 motor rating at 400 V.
  • Dedicated 24 V AC, 60 Hz control coil.
  • Integrated 1 NO auxiliary contact for signalling and control functions.
  • 20 A conventional free-air thermal current.
  • High 690 V rated insulation voltage and 6 kV impulse withstand rating.
  • Mechanical endurance of up to 20 million operating cycles.
  • Flexible screw or 35 mm DIN-rail mounting for control-panel installation.

Key Features

  • Lovato BG12 three-pole power minicontactor.
  • 3 normally open main contacts.
  • 1 normally open built-in auxiliary contact.
  • 12 A AC-3 operational current at up to 440 V.
  • 20 A AC-1 operational current at up to 40 °C.
  • 4.8 A AC-4 operational current at 400 V.
  • 5.7 kW AC-3 motor power at 400 V.
  • 24 V AC coil for 60 Hz operation.
  • 690 V rated insulation voltage.
  • IP20 power-terminal protection when correctly wired.
  • Screw-terminal connections.
  • Screw or 35 mm DIN-rail fixing.

Compact and Reliable Three-Phase Motor Switching

The Lovato BG12 uses three normally open main contacts for three-phase load switching, while the integrated 1 NO auxiliary contact can be incorporated into holding, signalling, interlocking and automation circuits. Its 12 A AC-3 rating and 5.7 kW motor rating at 400 V make it a practical contactor for smaller industrial motors and machinery.

The 24 V AC, 60 Hz coil identifies this model as the dedicated 60 Hz version for compatible low-voltage control circuits. Long mechanical endurance, compact construction, IP20 protected power terminals and flexible DIN-rail or screw mounting support dependable integration into OEM equipment and industrial control assemblies.

Typical Applications

  • Three-phase motor starters.
  • Industrial machinery control panels.
  • Pumps and compressor systems.
  • Fans and ventilation equipment.
  • Conveyors and materials-handling machinery.
  • Packaging and processing equipment.
  • OEM machine-control systems.
  • Industrial automation and general-purpose load switching.
