Why Choose the Lovato BF5000A23060 BF50 Contactor?
The Lovato BF5000A23060 is a robust three-pole power contactor designed for industrial motor control and automated load switching. Part of the Lovato Electric BF50 series, it combines an IEC AC-3 operational current rating of 50 A with a 230 V AC 60 Hz control coil.
Designed for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation applications, the BF5000A23060 uses three normally open main power contacts for conventional three-phase switching. Its dedicated 230 V AC 60 Hz coil makes this version suitable for control systems requiring that specific AC supply and frequency.
With an IEC AC-3 motor rating of 22 kW at 400 V, the BF5000A23060 provides substantial switching capability for pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and production machinery. Its BF-series construction, high insulation ratings and flexible mounting options make it a practical choice for industrial motor starters and control panels.

Reliable Three-Phase Motor Switching
A three-pole contactor provides electrically controlled switching of all three phases supplying a compatible motor or industrial load. When the 230 V AC 60 Hz coil of the BF5000A23060 is energised, its three normally open main contacts close, allowing the connected equipment to operate under the command of a switch, relay, PLC or motor control system.
With its 50 A AC-3 rating and 22 kW motor rating at 400 V, the BF5000A23060 is designed for substantially larger loads than compact mini contactors. This makes it well suited to industrial motor starters and automated machinery where reliable repetitive switching and robust electrical performance are required.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase direct-on-line motor starters.
- Industrial pumps and pumping systems.
- Fans, blowers and HVAC equipment.
- Compressors and process machinery.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and manufacturing equipment.
- Industrial automation and PLC-controlled machinery.
- OEM electrical and motor control panels.
