Why Choose the BF3800L048?
Engineered for dependable motor switching, the Lovato BF3800L048 three-pole contactor (SKU: BF3800L048) delivers 38A AC3 performance at 400V with an efficient 48V DC low-consumption coil. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting simplifies panel build and retrofit. Designed to the BF38 platform, it integrates cleanly into industrial control panels where reliable AC-3 duty and compact installation are essential.
Built for endurance and safety, it features Ui 690V insulation, 6kV impulse withstand and a 20,000,000-cycle mechanical life. Rated Ith (IEC) 56A and 30 HP at 480V (UL/CSA), it performs from -50 to 70 °C up to 3000 m altitude. Conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1/-4-1, UL and CSA standards, with 2.5 to 3 Nm terminal torque for secure, repeatable connections.
