11BGT1210A02460 Lovato REVERSING CONTACTOR BGT12.10A 24/60

Why Choose the Lovato BGT12.10A Reversing Contactor?

The Lovato 11BGT1210A02460 is a compact BGT12 reversing contactor assembly designed for controlling the forward and reverse operation of three-phase motors. Part of Lovato Electric's electromechanical motor-control range, it combines two mechanically interlocked contactors in a factory-coordinated reversing configuration.

The BGT12 platform is designed for compact motor-control applications and provides a practical solution where motor direction must be changed by reversing two phases of the supply. The assembly uses three-pole contactors with a 12 A AC-3 operational current rating, making it suitable for appropriately rated three-phase motor loads.

This version features a 24 V AC, 60 Hz control coil. Its integrated reversing arrangement reduces the amount of assembly work required compared with constructing a reversing starter from separate contactors and interlocking components, making it well suited to machinery, conveyors and automated equipment.

Key Advantages

• Purpose-designed reversing contactor assembly for three-phase motors.
• 12 A AC-3 operational current rating.
• 24 V AC, 60 Hz control coil.
• Mechanically interlocked contactors help prevent simultaneous forward and reverse operation.
• Compact BGT construction helps conserve control-panel space.
• Factory-coordinated reversing arrangement simplifies motor-control panel assembly.

Key Features

• Lovato BGT12 series.
• Reversing contactor for motor direction control.
• Two three-pole contactors in a coordinated reversing assembly.
• 12 A AC-3 rated operational current.
• 24 V AC control voltage.
• 60 Hz coil frequency.
• Mechanical interlocking between forward and reverse contactors.
• Suitable for compact industrial motor-control applications.
• Designed for integration into machinery and automation control panels.

Compact Forward and Reverse Motor Control

A reversing contactor assembly changes the direction of a three-phase motor by changing the phase sequence supplied to the motor. The Lovato 11BGT1210A02460 provides the two coordinated switching contactors required for forward and reverse operation, while mechanical interlocking helps ensure that opposing contactors cannot be closed simultaneously.

This integrated configuration simplifies the construction of bidirectional motor-control circuits and reduces the need to select and assemble separate mechanical interlocking components. When combined with suitable overload and short-circuit protection, the BGT12 reversing contactor can form part of a complete motor starter for machinery requiring controlled movement in both directions.

Typical Applications

• Forward and reverse control of three-phase motors.
• Conveyor and material-handling systems.
• Industrial doors, gates and positioning mechanisms.
• Machine tools and production machinery.
• Hoisting and movement-control equipment.
• OEM automation and motor-control panels.
