Why Choose the BF265T4E230?

The Lovato BF265T4E230 is a robust four‑pole contactor for demanding industrial control and power switching. Its universal AC/DC coil operates from 100…250 VAC/DC, simplifying design and spares. Delivering IEC AC1 450 A and AC3 performance of 265 A/132 kW at 400 V, it provides dependable control of motors, resistive loads and large distribution circuits across plant rooms and switchboards.

Engineered for longevity, it offers Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, a mechanical life of 5,000,000 cycles, and reliable operation from −40 to 70 °C up to 3000 m. PV application suitability and screw mounting ease integration, while conformity to IEC/EN/BS 60947, UL and CSA standards, plus 200 HP at 480 V, reinforces its high‑power credentials.

Key Benefits
