Why Choose the Lovato BFA08070230 Star Delta Starter?
The Lovato BFA08070230 is a complete star-delta motor starter designed for reduced-voltage starting of three-phase motors in industrial applications. As part of the Lovato BFA electromechanical starter range, it provides a compact open-frame solution combining the required contactors and control components for reliable motor starting systems.
The BFA08070230 reduces motor starting current by initially connecting the motor windings in star configuration before automatically changing to delta operation. This helps minimise mechanical stress on motors and connected machinery while providing efficient operation in demanding industrial environments.
With a maximum IEC operating current of 140 A, a rated motor power capability of 75 kW at 400 V and a 230 V AC 50/60 Hz coil supply, the Lovato BFA08070230 is suitable for large motor control applications including pumps, fans, compressors and industrial machinery.
