Why Choose the BF38T4A23060?
The Lovato BF38T4A23060 four-pole contactor delivers reliable switching for industrial control. Rated 56A AC1 and 38A/18.5kW at AC3 400V, this 230V 60Hz AC coil device mounts by screw or on 35mm DIN rail. With Ui 690V and Uimp 6kV, it provides robust insulation performance. Designed for harsh conditions, it operates from -50 to 70°C and offers a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles.
Engineered to international standards, the BF38T4A23060 complies with IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL and CSA equivalents, and carries a Sustainability certification. Terminal tightening torque is 2.5 to 3 Nm, with reliable operation up to 3000 m and pollution degree 3. A 30 HP rating at 480V (UL/CSA) broadens application scope, making this contactor a dependable choice for panels and machinery.
