Why Choose the BF38T2A048?
Lovato’s BF38T2A048 is a robust four-pole contactor designed for dependable motor and load switching in industrial panels. With an AC coil 50/60Hz at 48VAC, it delivers 56A AC1 and 38A/18.5kW AC3 at 400V. A 2NO/2NC pole configuration offers versatile control, while screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting speeds installation and panel retrofits. Certified to IEC/EN/BS and UL/CSA standards for assured compliance.
Engineered for demanding environments, the BF38 range provides a 690 V rated insulation and 6 kV impulse withstand for enhanced dielectric strength. A 20,000,000-cycle mechanical life, -50 to 70 °C operating range, and 3000 m altitude capability support long service in harsh conditions. Terminal tightening torque of 2.5-3 Nm assists reliable connections. Sustainability certification and Pollution Degree 3 suitability reinforce its industrial readiness.
