MPN: BF1801A230
Why Choose the BF1801A230?
Lovato BF1801A230 three‑pole contactor delivers reliable motor switching for industrial panels. With 18A AC‑3 at 400V (7.5Kw) and a 230VAC 50/60Hz coil, it suits a wide range of control circuits. A built‑in 1NC auxiliary with mirror contact function enhances safety feedback. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting simplifies installation and integration in compact enclosures.
Engineered for endurance, the BF18 platform offers Ui 690 V and 6 kV impulse withstand, plus a 20,000,000‑cycle mechanical life. Operates from −50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude (pollution degree 3). Rated Ith 32 A (AC‑1) and 10 HP at 480V (UL/CSA). Terminals tighten to 1.5–1.8 Nm, and full IEC/EN/BS, UL and CSA standards are met.
