Why Choose the BF11500A230?
The Lovato BF11500A230 is a robust three-pole contactor engineered for demanding motor control duties. Rated AC3 115 A at 400 V with a 230 VAC 50/60 Hz coil, it delivers dependable switching performance. With Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, the BF115 platform safeguards against overvoltage stress. Installation is straightforward via screw fixing or 35 mm DIN rail mounting, supporting both new builds and retrofits.
Built to perform in tough environments, this contactor operates from -50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude. It carries IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 conformity alongside UL and CSA approvals. A mechanical life of 15,000,000 cycles and AC1 Ith 160 A ensure reliability in high-duty panels. Terminals tighten to 6 to 7 Nm for secure connections during installation and maintenance.
