Why Choose the Lovato BF50T4A12060 4-Pole Power Contactor?
The Lovato BF50T4A12060 is a robust four-pole power contactor designed for reliable switching of industrial electrical loads in machinery, control panels and automation systems. Part of the Lovato BF50 series, it features four normally open main contacts and provides an AC-1 operational current rating of 90 A for demanding resistive and general-purpose load switching.
The BF50T4A12060 also supports motor-control duties, providing an AC-3 operational current rating of 50 A at up to 440 V. Its four-pole architecture makes it particularly useful where four conductors must be switched simultaneously, including three-phase plus neutral circuits, electric heating systems, industrial distribution equipment and OEM machinery.
This specific BF50T4A12060 version uses a 120 V AC, 60 Hz control coil. With high insulation capability, robust screw terminals and flexible screw or DIN rail installation, it provides a practical solution for industrial control systems requiring dependable four-pole switching from a 120 V AC control supply.

Reliable Four-Pole Switching for Industrial Automation
The Lovato BF50T4A12060 provides electromagnetic switching of substantial electrical loads from a lower-power 120 V AC control signal. When the coil is energised, all four normally open main contacts close simultaneously, allowing PLC-controlled relays, control circuits and automated machinery to switch power loads without carrying the full load current through the control equipment.
Its combination of a 90 A AC-1 rating, 50 A AC-3 rating and four-pole architecture makes the BF50T4A12060 suitable for both general industrial power switching and motor-control applications. The fourth pole also provides flexibility for circuits requiring neutral or another conductor to be switched together with a three-phase supply.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electric heating systems.
- High-current resistive load switching.
- Three-phase plus neutral switching circuits.
- Industrial motor starters and machinery.
- Pumps, compressors and ventilation equipment.
- HVAC and building services systems.
- Industrial switchboards and control panels.
- OEM machinery and automation equipment.
