Why Choose the Lovato 11BG1210A02460 BG12 Minicontactor?
The Lovato 11BG1210A02460 is a compact three-pole BG12 power minicontactor designed for reliable motor control and industrial load switching. It features 3 normally open main contacts together with an integrated 1 NO auxiliary contact, combining power and auxiliary switching functions in a compact device.
This specific version uses a 24 V AC, 60 Hz control coil and provides an AC-3 operational current rating of 12 A at up to 440 V. Its AC-3 motor power rating reaches 5.7 kW at 400 V and 6.2 kW at 415 V, making it suitable for a broad range of smaller three-phase motors.
The BG12 also provides a conventional free-air thermal current of 20 A, a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV. Screw terminals plus 35 mm DIN-rail or screw mounting make the contactor straightforward to integrate into industrial machinery, OEM equipment and motor-control panels.
