Reliable Motor Switching for Industrial Control Systems
Power contactors such as the Lovato BF3200A048 provide electrically controlled switching for motors and other industrial loads. The contactor allows a comparatively low-power control circuit to operate the main power contacts, making it suitable for motor starters, automated machinery and remotely controlled electrical systems.
The BF3200A048 combines a 32 A AC-3 rating with a 16 kW motor rating at 400 V, making it well suited to three-phase motor control. Its 48 V AC coil, compact construction and DIN rail mounting capability simplify integration into industrial control panels and machinery.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase motor starters and motor control panels.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Pumps, fans and ventilation equipment.
- Industrial automation and control panels.
- OEM machinery and electrical switching systems.
