BF2600A230 Lovato contactor 3 pole AC3:26A 13kw 230VAC coil

Why Choose the BF2600A230?

The Lovato BF2600A230 is a three‑pole contactor engineered for reliable motor control and general switching. With AC3 performance of 26 A at 400 V (13 kW) and a 230 VAC 50/60 Hz coil, this BF26 series device fits industrial panels with ease. Flexible screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting simplifies installation, while robust construction and extensive standards compliance suit demanding UK commercial and industrial environments.

Designed for longevity and resilience, it offers 45 A AC1, 690 V Ui and 6 kV impulse withstand. A mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles and -50 to 70 °C operation support harsh duty, up to 3000 m altitude (pollution degree 3). Compliance with IEC/EN/BS 60947-1/-4-1 and corresponding UL/CSA standards ensures dependable performance in motor starters, process equipment and building services.
