Why Choose the Lovato BF19500E024 3-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF19500E024 is a heavy-duty three-pole power contactor designed for reliable switching of high-power three-phase motors and industrial electrical loads. Part of the Lovato BF contactor range, it provides an IEC AC-3 operational current of 195 A and a conventional free-air thermal current of 275 A.
This version uses an electronically controlled AC/DC coil with a wide operating range of 24–60 V AC / 20–60 V DC. The wide-range coil simplifies control-system design by allowing the same contactor to operate from several common low-voltage AC and DC control supplies.
At 400 V, the BF19500E024 is rated for 195 A AC-3 and a motor power of 90 kW. Its robust screw-mounted construction and high current capability make it suitable for demanding industrial motor-control panels, process equipment and power switching applications.

Reliable High-Power Motor Switching for Industrial Systems
Power contactors provide electrically controlled switching of motors and other high-current loads using a separate control circuit. The Lovato BF19500E024 is designed for demanding three-phase motor applications, with an AC-3 rating of 195 A at 400 V and a corresponding motor power capability of 90 kW.
The wide-range electronic coil is a key feature of this BF195 version, accepting 24–60 V AC or 20–60 V DC. This gives panel builders and automation engineers greater flexibility when integrating the contactor into low-voltage control systems while retaining the high switching capacity required for large industrial motors.
Typical Applications
- High-power three-phase motor starters.
- Industrial pumps and pumping systems.
- Compressors and process machinery.
- Fans and ventilation equipment.
- Conveyors and materials-handling systems.
- Manufacturing and production machinery.
- Industrial automation and control panels.
- High-current electrical load switching.
