Why Choose the Lovato BF19500E400 3-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF19500E400 is a heavy-duty 3-pole BF195 power contactor designed for demanding three-phase motor-control and industrial switching applications. Part of the Lovato BF contactor series, it provides an AC-3 operational current rating of 195 A, making it suitable for substantial motor loads in manufacturing, processing and automated machinery.
This version features an electronic wide-range coil designed for 250–500 V AC/DC control supplies. The ability to operate from compatible AC or DC control voltages provides flexibility for machine builders and panel designers working with higher-voltage industrial control systems.
The BF195 platform combines high switching capacity with robust industrial construction. At 400 V, the contactor supports an AC-3 motor rating of approximately 90 kW, providing a powerful switching solution for pumps, compressors, conveyors, fans and other motor-driven industrial equipment.
