Why Choose the Lovato BFA02570400 Star-Delta Starter?
The Lovato BFA02570400 is a complete open-frame star-delta motor starter designed to reduce starting current and provide reliable control of three-phase induction motors in industrial automation and motor control applications. As part of the Lovato BFA star-delta starter series, it combines pre-configured contactors and control components to simplify installation and improve motor starting performance.
This starter provides a practical solution for applications where direct-on-line starting current must be reduced. The star-delta configuration initially connects the motor windings in star before changing to delta operation, helping minimise electrical stress, voltage dips and mechanical strain during motor acceleration.
With a maximum IEC operating current of 35 A, a 400 V AC 50/60 Hz coil and support for motors up to 18.5 kW at 400 V AC, the Lovato BFA02570400 is suitable for industrial pumps, fans, compressors and machinery requiring controlled motor starting.

Controlled Motor Starting for Industrial Applications
Star-delta starters such as the Lovato BFA02570400 help limit the high inrush current produced when large motors start directly across the supply. By controlling the transition from star to delta connection, they provide smoother acceleration and improved protection for electrical and mechanical systems.
The Lovato BFA series is designed for industrial control panels, machine builders and automation engineers requiring reliable motor starting solutions with pre-configured components and efficient installation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial pumps and water systems.
- Fans and ventilation equipment.
- Compressors and processing machinery.
- Manufacturing and production equipment.
- Heavy-duty motor control applications.
- OEM automation systems.
