Why Choose the Lovato BF50T4A22060 4-Pole Power Contactor?
The Lovato BF50T4A22060 is a robust four-pole power contactor designed for reliable switching of industrial electrical loads in machinery, switchboards and automation systems. Part of the Lovato BF50 series, it features four normally open main contacts and provides an IEC conventional free-air thermal and AC-1 operational current rating of 90 A at up to 40 °C.
The BF50T4A22060 also supports motor-control applications with an AC-3 operational current of 50 A at up to 440 V and an AC-3 motor rating of 22 kW at 400 V AC. Its four-pole architecture makes it suitable for applications requiring four conductors to be switched simultaneously, including three-phase plus neutral circuits, electric heating, industrial distribution and OEM machinery.
This specific BF50T4A22060 version uses a 220 V AC, 60 Hz control coil. With a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V, an 8 kV impulse withstand rating, IP20 front terminal protection and screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting, it provides a dependable solution for demanding industrial control-panel installations.

Reliable Four-Pole Switching for Industrial Automation
The Lovato BF50T4A22060 provides electromagnetic switching of substantial electrical loads from a lower-power 220 V AC control signal. When the coil is energised, all four normally open main contacts close simultaneously, allowing PLC-controlled relays, automation systems and industrial machinery to manage high-current circuits without carrying the 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 BF50T4A22060 suitable for both general-purpose power switching and motor-control duties. The fourth pole provides additional flexibility for circuits requiring neutral or another conductor to be switched together with a three-phase supply.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electric heating and resistive load control.
- Four-pole industrial power 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.
