Why Choose the Lovato BFX3432 Star-Delta Connection Kit?
The Lovato BFX3432 is a purpose-designed rigid connecting kit for star-delta motor starters using different Lovato BF contactor frame sizes. It is specifically designed for assemblies with BF95…BF150 contactors in the line and delta positions and BF40…BF94 contactors in the star position.
Part of the Lovato BF contactor accessory range, the BFX3432 provides the coordinated rigid power connections required between compatible contactors in a star-delta starter. Using manufacturer-designed connections simplifies panel assembly and provides a neat alternative to fabricating individual inter-contactor power links.
The kit supports BF9500…, BF11500… and BF15000… contactors for the line/delta functions together with BF4000…, BF5000…, BF6500…, BF8000… and BF9400… contactors for the star function. Lovato specifies a 600 V AC UL rated operational voltage, making the BFX3432 suitable for professional industrial motor-control assemblies.

Reliable Connections for Star-Delta Motor Starters
A star-delta starter reduces the starting current of a suitable three-phase motor by initially connecting its windings in star before changing to delta for normal operation. This arrangement uses separate line, delta and star contactors that must be correctly interconnected within the starter assembly.
The Lovato BFX3432 is specifically configured for installations where the larger BF95…BF150 contactors perform the line and delta functions while a BF40…BF94 contactor performs the star function. Its rigid connections simplify assembly and help create an organised, purpose-built motor-control installation.
Typical Applications
- Star-delta three-phase motor starters.
- Industrial motor-control panels.
- Pump and compressor starter systems.
- Fans and ventilation machinery.
- Conveyors and material-handling equipment.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation panels.
