Why Choose the BF40000E230?
Built for demanding industrial switching, the Lovato BF400 three-pole contactor (SKU BF40000E230) pairs a wide-range AC/DC coil with high current capability. The 100…250 V control coil simplifies panel design, while IEC AC-3 400 A at 400 V and AC-1 600 A ratings deliver dependable performance. Screw mounting aids secure installation, making this contactor a strong choice for motor control and heavy resistive loads in UK-spec electrical panels.
Engineered to standards, the BF400 offers Ui 1000 V and Uimp 8 kV insulation strength, a mechanical life of 5,000,000 cycles, and reliable service from -40 to 70 °C up to 3000 m altitude (pollution degree 3). Conformity with IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, plus UL and CSA, underpins safety and performance, supporting consistent operation across varied site conditions.
