Why Choose the BF38T4A02460?
Engineered for dependable control, the Lovato BF38T4A02460 is a four‑pole contactor designed for heavy‑duty switching. With an AC coil rated 24 VAC at 60 Hz, it delivers 56 A Ith (AC1) and 38 A / 18.5 kW AC3 performance at 400 V, plus a 30 HP rating at 480 V (UL/CSA). Flexible screw or 35 mm DIN‑rail mounting streamlines installation in control panels and OEM machinery.
Built for resilience, the BF38 platform offers 690 V rated insulation (Ui) and 6 kV impulse withstand (Uimp), with reliable operation from −50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude. A mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles and 2.5–3 Nm terminal torque support long service in demanding environments. Conforms to IEC/EN/BS, UL and CSA standards, with a sustainability certification for responsible selection.
