Why Choose the Lovato BF80T2A048 2NO+2NC Contactor?
The Lovato BF80T2A048 is a robust four-pole power contactor with 2NO and 2NC main contacts designed for reliable switching of industrial motors and electrical loads. As part of the Lovato BF80 contactor series, it provides an IEC conventional free-air thermal current of 115 A in AC-1 duty and an AC-3 operational current rating of 80 A, making it suitable for demanding machinery, motor control and automation applications.
Its 2NO+2NC main contact configuration provides two normally open and two normally closed power poles, offering additional switching flexibility for industrial control circuits. The BF80 platform combines high electrical capacity with a durable mechanical design and supports both screw fixing and 35 mm DIN rail mounting for straightforward integration into electrical panels and motor control centres.
With an AC-3 motor rating of 45 kW at 400 V AC and a dedicated 48 V AC control coil, the BF80T2A048 provides dependable switching for substantial three-phase motor loads and other industrial equipment. The AC coil is designated for 50/60 Hz operation, with the BF80T2 50/60 Hz coil variant specified by Lovato for use at 50 Hz.

Flexible Power Switching for Industrial Control
Power contactors such as the Lovato BF80T2A048 allow high-current electrical loads to be controlled through a lower-power control circuit. Energising the contactor coil changes the state of its main contacts, providing reliable remote switching for motors, machinery and automated electrical systems.
The BF80T2 configuration provides two normally open and two normally closed main poles, making it particularly useful where complementary power switching is required. Its high AC-1 thermal capacity and substantial AC-3 motor rating make it suitable for industrial control panels, motor control centres and OEM machinery requiring dependable switching performance.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor control and switching systems.
- Machinery and production equipment.
- Power circuits requiring 2NO+2NC switching.
- Pumps, fans and ventilation equipment.
- Conveyors and material handling systems.
- Motor control centres and electrical control panels.
- OEM automation and machine-building applications.
