Suitable for

• Industrial automation systems
• Power distribution panels
• Heating and lighting control circuits
• Motor control applications

This contactor may not be suitable for applications requiring AC control voltages, as it is specifically designed for a 24V DC coil. Additionally, it should not be used in environments that exceed its specified current rating of 32A AC-1 or in hazardous areas without appropriate protective enclosures.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 4
• Rated current: 32A (AC-1)
• Control coil voltage: 24V DC
• Application type: Industrial power switching

To use the LOVATO Electric BF18T4D024, ensure that the control circuit is properly wired to the coil terminals and that the main power lines are connected to the corresponding power poles. The device should be mounted on a standard DIN rail or a flat surface within a suitable electrical cabinet. Always verify that the control voltage matches the 24V DC specification before energizing the system to prevent damage to the coil.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control system provides a 24V DC signal
• Ensure the 32A AC-1 current rating meets your load requirements
• Check available space in your electrical enclosure for mounting
• Confirm the number of poles matches your circuit design

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, ensure all electrical connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings and that the contactor is protected from excessive dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
