Why Choose the Lovato BF150T4E048 4-Pole Contactor?
The Lovato BF150T4E048 is a high-performance 4-pole contactor designed for switching resistive and other AC-1 electrical loads in industrial power distribution, heating and control applications. Part of the Lovato BF contactor family, it provides a rated conventional thermal current of 165 A at 40 °C.
The BF150T4E048 features four normally open main power poles, allowing simultaneous switching of four conductors from a single contactor. Its electronically controlled wide-range AC/DC coil is designed for a 36–72 V AC/DC control supply, providing flexibility where either AC or DC control power is available.
Designed for demanding industrial installations, the BF150T4E048 combines high-current switching capability with the robust construction of the Lovato BF series. At an ambient temperature of 55 °C, it carries an AC-1 operational current of 135 A, making it suitable for professional electrical panels, heating systems and power-control equipment.
