Why Choose the Lovato BFX3431 Star-Delta Connection Kit?
The Lovato BFX3431 is a rigid connecting kit for star-delta starters designed specifically for compatible Lovato BF95…BF150 contactors. Part of the Lovato BF contactor accessory range, it provides the purpose-designed electrical connections required when assembling a star-delta motor starter using contactors of the same BF95…BF150 frame range.
Star-delta starting is widely used to reduce the starting current of suitable three-phase motors. The BFX3431 simplifies construction of these starter assemblies by replacing individually fabricated power links with a coordinated rigid connection system designed around the physical arrangement and terminals of compatible Lovato BF contactors.
The BFX3431 is intended for BF9500…, BF11500… and BF15000… contactors. It is manufactured as a dedicated contactor accessory and is rated for an operational voltage of up to 600 V AC under UL technical data, providing a practical solution for professional industrial motor-control assemblies.

Reliable Connections for Star-Delta Motor Starters
A star-delta starter uses multiple contactors to change a suitable three-phase motor from a star connection during starting to a delta connection during normal running. This method reduces starting current compared with direct-on-line starting while allowing the motor to operate in its normal delta configuration after acceleration.
The Lovato BFX3431 provides rigid power connections engineered for star-delta assemblies using BF95…BF150 contactors. Using a dedicated connection kit helps simplify panel construction, maintain an organised layout and reduce the need to fabricate individual inter-contactor power links during assembly.
Typical Applications
- Star-delta motor starter assemblies.
- Industrial three-phase motor-control panels.
- Pump and compressor control systems.
- Fans and ventilation equipment.
- Conveyors and material-handling machinery.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation panels.
