Why Choose the Lovato BFX3361 Changeover Connection Kit?
The Lovato BFX3361 is a purpose-designed rigid connecting kit for changeover contactor assemblies using Lovato BF series contactors. Designed for three-pole BF40 through BF94 contactors, it provides the rigid power connections required to create a compact and correctly configured changeover assembly.
The BFX3361 is specifically intended for use with two compatible BF40–BF94 three-pole contactors combined with a Lovato BFX5300 or BFX5301 mechanical interlock. This arrangement supports electrically controlled changeover between two power sources while the mechanical interlock helps prevent the two contactors from closing simultaneously.
As a dedicated Lovato accessory, the BFX3361 simplifies panel construction by providing purpose-made rigid connections rather than requiring individually fabricated changeover links. The kit has a nominal weight of approximately 0.15 kg and is suited to automatic transfer, generator changeover and industrial power-switching assemblies based on compatible Lovato BF contactors.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed rigid connecting kit for changeover assemblies.
- Compatible with three-pole Lovato BF40–BF94 contactors.
- Designed for assemblies using BFX5300 or BFX5301 mechanical interlocks.

- Suitable for industrial transfer-switch and power-control panels.
- Supplied as a dedicated connection accessory for Lovato BF contactors.
Contactor-based changeover systems use two contactors to select between separate electrical power sources while supplying a common load. The Lovato BFX3361 provides the rigid power connections required for a changeover arrangement based on compatible three-pole BF40–BF94 contactors, helping simplify assembly and maintain a neat switchboard layout.
When combined with the appropriate BFX5300 or BFX5301 mechanical interlock, the BFX3361 forms part of a coordinated Lovato changeover solution. Such assemblies can be used with automatic transfer switch controllers, generator controllers or other suitable control systems to manage mains-to-generator and alternative-source transfer applications.
Typical Applications
- Automatic transfer switch assemblies.
- Mains-to-generator changeover systems.
- Industrial power-source transfer panels.
- Emergency and standby power systems.
- Electrical distribution and switchboard assemblies.
- OEM machinery and industrial control panels using BF40–BF94 contactors.
