Why Choose the Lovato BF26T2A230 Four-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF26T2A230 is a robust four-pole AC power contactor designed for reliable electrical load switching in industrial machinery, control panels and automation systems. As part of the Lovato BF26 contactor series, it features four main poles arranged as 2 normally open (2NO) and 2 normally closed (2NC) contacts.
This contactor provides dependable switching performance with an IEC conventional free-air thermal current Ith rating of 45 A. It also provides an AC-3 operational current rating of 26 A at up to 440 V and an AC-4 operational current rating of 11.5 A at 400 V, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial switching duties.
The BF26T2A230 incorporates a 230 V AC 50/60 Hz coil and can be installed using screw fixing or on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Its compact four-pole configuration, wide operating temperature range and industrial electrical ratings make it well suited to machine building and control panel applications.
