Why Choose the BF26T4A230?
The Lovato BF26T4A230 is a robust four-pole contactor engineered for reliable power switching. With 45A AC1 and 26A/13kW AC3 at 400V, and a 230VAC 50/60Hz coil, it suits a wide range of industrial duties. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting speeds panel integration, while photovoltaic application suitability broadens use cases. Designed to IEC/EN/BS and UL/CSA standards, it delivers dependable performance in demanding environments.
Built for longevity and resilience, the BF26T4A230 offers a 690 V rated insulation voltage and 6 kV impulse withstand. A 20,000,000-cycle mechanical life and -50 to 70°C operating range support harsh-site reliability up to 3000 m altitude. Clear terminal access with 2.5 to 3 Nm tightening torque aids secure wiring, helping installers deliver safe, compliant assemblies in new builds or retrofit control panels.
