BF80T4A230 Lovato contactor 4 pole AC3:80A 45kw 230VAC coil

Why Choose the BF80T4A230?

Designed for reliable power switching, the Lovato BF80T4A230 is a four-pole contactor with a 230VAC 50/60Hz coil and robust IEC AC1 rating of 115A. Delivering 80A/45kW at 400V in AC3 duty, the BF80T4A230 suits demanding industrial panels. With screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting, it streamlines installation across control cabinets and distribution boards while supporting photovoltaic applications.

Engineered for endurance and safety, this BF80 contactor offers a 1,000 V rated insulation (Ui) and 8 kV impulse withstand (Uimp), backed by a 15,000,000-cycle mechanical life. Operating from -50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, it performs in harsh environments. Rated 60 HP at 480V per UL/CSA and conforming to IEC/EN/BS 60947, it provides dependable compliance for UK and global projects.
