BF6500E230 - 3P CONTACTOR 65A AC3 230VAC/DC 50/60HZ

Why Choose the BF6500E230?

The Lovato BF6500E230 three‑pole contactor delivers dependable motor and load switching for industrial panels. With an AC/DC coil rated 100…250V and an AC‑3 rating of 65A (30 kW at 400V), this BF65 series device combines performance and flexibility. Compact and easy to integrate via screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting, the BF6500E230 suits applications needing robust control and straightforward installation.

Engineered for demanding environments, it offers Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV, with Ith (AC1) 100 A to handle resistive duties. A 15,000,000‑cycle mechanical life, −40 to 70 °C operating range and pollution degree 3 rating enhance durability up to 3000 m altitude. Fully compliant with IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards, it supports secure terminations with 4–5 Nm torque.
