LOVATO Electric updates its existing range of contactors.<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

LOVATO Electric updates its existing range of contactors with a new construction size<\/span>. The new contactors are rated 265A, 330A e 400A AC-3 (400V) for motor control applications, 450A, 500A e 600A in AC-1 category. They are available in both 3- and 4-pole versions.<\/h4>\n

The new size, to better adapt to market needs, is the most compact currently on the market<\/span>; the 3-pole contactors are just 140mm wide, like the equivalently rated moulded case circuit breakers (MCCB), allowing the quick assembly of compact starters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The new contactors have an electronically controlled AC\/DC coil<\/span> for greatly reduced consumption<\/b> and a wide nominal voltage range (e.g. just one coil for 100\u2026250V AC\/DC), which ensures operation without uncertainness, even under strongly varying supply voltage conditions.<\/p>\n

The coil power terminals are 4: 2 can be wired on the top side of the contactor and 2 on the bottom side, for a more comfortable connection. Both coils and power contacts are also available as spare parts and are easy to replace when necessary.<\/p>\n

The low profile front-mounted auxiliary contacts enable quick and easy wiring. Up to 6 contacts can be mounted on the 3-pole contactors, and up to 8 on the 4-pole contactors. In addition, up to 8 contacts can be mounted on the side faces.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A variety of accessories<\/b> are available to facilitate the assembly of functional and safe panels: power terminal protections, isolating phase barriers, terminal enlargement kit to connect large wires and lugs and a connection kit for assembling changeover, reversing and star delta starters.<\/p>\n

A horizontal mechanical interlock<\/b> mounts flush between the two contactors without increasing the assembly\u2019s overall dimensions. The interlock is also available in a vertical version.<\/p>\n

Convenient fixing to the panel is achieved thanks to the easy access of the fixing holes and an accessory for tightening the terminal screws with just one tool. A front-mounted mechanical indicator shows whether the contactor is open or closed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The BF265, BF330, BF400 contactors are compliant with stringent railway regulations for operation under shock and vibration<\/span> (IEC 61373), and the plastics used in their construction are compliant with the fire behaviour requirements of EN 45545. They are also cULus certified<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
