Why Choose the BF8000E230?
Lovato BF8000E230 is a robust three‑pole contactor engineered for dependable motor control in AC‑3 duty. Featuring an AC/DC coil rated 100…250VAC/DC, it delivers 80A at 400V (45Kw) with an IEC Ith of 115A. With Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, it suits demanding industrial environments. Flexible screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting speeds installation and panel integration.
Built for longevity with 15,000,000 mechanical cycles, the BF80 platform operates from -40 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, pollution degree 3. Terminals tighten to 4–5 Nm for secure connections. Certified to IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards, and rated 60 HP at 480V, this 1060 g unit integrates reliably into control panels and OEM machinery.
