Why Choose the BF400T4E400?
The Lovato BF400T4E400 is a heavy-duty four‑pole contactor engineered for high‑current switching in demanding installations. Rated at 600 A AC1 and 400 A/200 kW AC3 at 400 V, it delivers dependable performance for large motors and resistive loads. Its wide‑range AC/DC coil (250–500 VAC/DC) simplifies stocking and control voltage flexibility, while screw mounting ensures secure installation in panels and switchboards.
Built for resilience, the BF400 four‑pole contactor offers 1000 V rated insulation (Ui) and 8 kV impulse withstand (Uimp), with mechanical life to 5,000,000 cycles. It operates from −40 to 70 °C, stores from −50 to 80 °C, and functions up to 3000 m, pollution degree 3. UL/CSA horsepower rating is 350 HP at 480 V, and conformity includes IEC/EN/BS 60947‑1 and 60947‑4‑1.
