BF38T2L048 - 4P CONTACTOR 2NO+2NC 56A AC1 48VDC B.C.

Why Choose the BF38T2L048?

Lovato BF38T2L048 is a robust four‑pole contactor designed for dependable switching in industrial panels. Featuring a 48V DC low‑consumption coil and AC1 Ith of 56A, it delivers reliable performance for resistive and general loads. With AC3 400V ratings of 38A/18.5Kw and a UL/CSA 480V motor rating of 30 HP, this compact unit integrates easily into new builds and retrofits.

Engineered for flexibility, the contactor mounts via screws or on 35mm DIN rail, and meets IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards. A 690 V rated insulation, 6 kV impulse withstand, and up to 20,000,000 mechanical cycles support long service life. It operates from −50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, suiting harsh environments and modern control panels alike.
