BF8000E024 Lovato contactor 3 pole AC3:80A 45kw 24VAC/DC coil

Why Choose the BF8000E024?

Lovato’s BF8000E024 is a robust three‑pole contactor designed for dependable motor and load switching in demanding environments. With AC‑3 operating current of 80A at 400V and an AC/DC coil rated 20…48V, it simplifies control panel design and spares. Screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting and IEC/EN/BS 60947 compliance make integration straightforward for UK industrial applications.

Engineered for reliability, the BF80 series delivers 1000 V rated insulation (Ui) and 8 kV impulse withstand (Uimp), with Ith (AC1) of 115 A. A long mechanical life of 15,000,000 cycles, -40 to 70 °C operating range and mounting flexibility ensure durability in harsh conditions. Certified to IEC/EN/BS, UL and CSA standards, it supports installations up to 3000 m and uses 4–5 Nm terminal tightening torque.
