Why Choose the Lovato 11BGR1201A230 Reversing Contactor Assembly?
The Lovato 11BGR1201A230 is an open-frame reversing contactor assembly designed for forward and reverse control of electric motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Lovato BGR12 series, it combines a reversing contactor arrangement with an external interlock plus pre-installed power and auxiliary wiring.
This ready-assembled configuration simplifies installation by providing the essential switching, interlocking and wiring components required for motor-reversing applications. The external interlock helps prevent conflicting contactor operation, while the integrated wiring reduces panel assembly work and supports reliable directional motor control.
With an AC-3 operational current rating of 12 A at up to 440 V, a motor rating of 5.7 kW at 400 V and 230 V AC contactor coils operating at 50/60 Hz, the 11BGR1201A230 is suited to compact industrial motor-control panels. Its open-frame construction and clamp-screw terminals facilitate integration within a suitable electrical enclosure.

Reliable Reversing Control for Industrial Motors
Reversing contactor assemblies change a motor’s direction of rotation by switching the phase sequence supplied to the motor. The interlocking arrangement helps prevent both contactors from closing simultaneously, supporting safe and dependable forward and reverse operation.
The 11BGR1201A230 is supplied as a wired open-frame assembly, reducing the number of separate components that must be selected and connected during control-panel construction. This makes it suitable for machine builders and control-system integrators requiring a compact reversing solution with a 230 V AC control supply.
Typical Applications
- Forward and reverse control of industrial motors.
- Conveyors and material-handling equipment.
- Hoists, winches and lifting machinery.
- Machine tools and production equipment.
- Industrial doors, gates and positioning systems.
- OEM control panels and automation systems.
