Why Choose the Lovato BFXD42 Fourth Pole?
The Lovato BFXD42 is a genuine fourth-pole contactor accessory designed for selected Lovato BF series contactors. It provides an additional power pole for compatible BF26D, BF32D, BF38D, BF26L, BF32L and BF38L contactors, allowing these devices to be configured for applications requiring four-pole switching.
Designed as part of the Lovato Electric BF contactor accessory range, the BFXD42 provides a manufacturer-specified solution for extending compatible three-pole contactors with an additional switching pole. Its compatibility with specific BF D and BF L series contactors makes it suitable for industrial control panels and switching assemblies where a fourth pole is required.
The BFXD42 has a 56 A conventional free-air thermal current and a 690 V rated insulation voltage. Its terminals provide IP20 protection and accept conductor sections up to 16 mm².
