BF18T4L048 - 4P CONTACTOR NO 32A AC1 48VDC LOW C.

Why Choose the BF18T4L048?

Engineered by Lovato, the BF18T4L048 four-pole contactor brings dependable switching to control panels and machinery. With a 48 V DC low-consumption coil and IEC AC1 Ith of 32 A, it’s ready for general-duty loads. For motors, it delivers 18 A/7.5 kW at 400 V (AC3). Quick to install via 35 mm DIN rail or screw mounting, it streamlines panel building.

Built for demanding environments, this BF18 series contactor offers a 690 V rated insulation and 6 kV impulse withstand, plus a wide −50 to 70 °C operating range. It meets IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1/-4-1 and CSA C22.2 standards, and supports up to 10 HP at 480 V. Robust specifications support reliable service up to 3000 m altitude and Pollution Degree 3.
