BF2501A048 - 3P CONTACTOR 1NC 25A AC3 48/50-60

Why Choose the BF2501A048?

Built for demanding motor control, the Lovato BF2501A048 three‑pole contactor delivers dependable switching with AC‑3 25A/12.5 kW at 400 V and Ith (AC‑1) 32 A. Its 48 VAC 50/60 Hz coil suits common control supplies, while a built‑in 1NC auxiliary with mirror contact function provides reliable status feedback. The BF25 series unit offers quick installation via screw fixings or 35 mm DIN rail mounting to streamline panel assembly.

Engineered for resilience, this BF25 contactor features Ui 690 V and Uimp 6 kV for robust insulation and surge tolerance. It operates from −50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, supporting harsh-site installations. With a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles and compliance to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1/-4-1 plus UL and CSA standards, it ensures long service and straightforward specification in UK and global panels.
