BF3200A048 - 3P CONTACTOR 32A AC3 48/50-60

Why Choose the BF3200A048?

The Lovato BF3200A048 is a BF32 three‑pole contactor engineered for dependable motor and load switching in industrial control panels. With a 48 V AC 50/60 Hz coil and AC‑3 rating of 32 A (16 kW at 400 V), it delivers reliable performance for frequent operations. An AC‑1 current of 56 A and a rated insulation voltage of 690 V provide strong electrical capability in compact installations.

Built for durability and safety, this contactor offers a 6 kV impulse withstand rating and an impressive mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. It installs quickly using screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting and operates from -50 to 70 °C up to 3000 m altitude. Designed to IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards, it suits a wide range of industrial automation applications.
