Why Choose the Lovato BF19500E230 3-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF19500E230 is a heavy-duty 3-pole BF195 power contactor designed for demanding three-phase motor-control and industrial switching applications. With an IEC AC-3 operational current rating of 195 A at up to 440 V and 55 °C, it provides the switching capacity required for substantial motors used throughout manufacturing, processing and automated machinery.
This model uses an electronic 100–250 V AC/DC coil, providing wide-range control-voltage compatibility from a single contactor variant. At 400 V, the BF19500E230 provides an AC-3 motor rating of 90 kW, while its conventional free-air thermal current and AC-1 rating at up to 40 °C are 275 A.
Engineered for industrial-duty service, the BF19500E230 features a 1000 V rated insulation voltage, 8 kV impulse withstand voltage and screw mounting. Its combination of high switching capacity and flexible AC/DC coil operation makes it well suited to motor-control centres, machinery and automation panels.
