Why Choose the BF18T4A230?
The Lovato BF18T4A230 is a four-pole contactor designed for reliable switching in industrial control panels. With an IEC AC1 current rating of 32A and an AC3 performance of 18A/7.5kW at 400V, it handles both resistive and motor loads with confidence. A 230V AC coil (50/60Hz) ensures dependable operation across UK mains environments, while the compact BF18 platform streamlines panel layouts.
Installation is fast via screw fixing or 35mm DIN rail mounting, and it conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and -4-1 with UL and CSA approvals. Rated Ui 690V with 6kV impulse withstand, the device operates from -50 to 70°C and up to 3000m altitude. A 20,000,000-cycle mechanical life helps reduce maintenance and downtime.
