BF400T4E230 LOVATO MAXI 4P CONTACTOR 600A AC1 100-250VAC/DC

Why Choose the BF400T4E230?

Engineered for high-current reliability, the Lovato BF400T4E230 is a four‑pole contactor designed for demanding power and motor control. With an IEC AC1 operating current of 600 A and AC3 performance at 400 V of 400 A / 200 kW, it handles heavy-duty loads with ease. Its wide‑range AC/DC coil (100–250 V) simplifies control voltage selection, while photovoltaic suitability makes the BF400T4E230 a versatile choice for modern panels.

Built on the BF400 platform, this contactor delivers 1000 V rated insulation and 8 kV impulse withstand for strong dielectric performance. It operates from −40 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, with a mechanical life of 5,000,000 cycles for long service. Screw mounting enables secure installation, and conformity with IEC/EN/BS 60947 plus UL/CSA standards supports assured compliance across control panels and photovoltaic systems.
