Technical Specifications
Version & Model Difference
['The A230 suffix denotes a 230 V AC 50/60 Hz coil; other BF3800 variants use different coil voltages (e.g. 24V, 110V, 400V).', 'The BF38 frame size covers 38 A AC3; smaller BF09-BF25 and larger BF50+ frames serve other current ranges.', 'BF contactors accept add-on overload relays, surge suppressors and auxiliary contacts for complete starters.']
Application Scenarios
- Motor starters and control panels for pumps, compressors and conveyors
- HVAC and industrial switching of three-phase loads
- OEM machine building and automation systems
