Why Choose the Lovato BF26T2A400 Four-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF26T2A400 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 rated operational current of 26 A at 400 V, making it suitable for industrial power switching and motor control applications where a four-pole contact arrangement is required.
The BF26T2A400 incorporates a 400 V AC 50/60 Hz coil and can be installed using screw fixing or on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Its 690 V rated insulation voltage, high mechanical endurance and IP20 terminal protection when properly wired provide robust performance for demanding industrial control installations.
