Why Choose the BFK11500A230?
Lovato's BFK11500A230 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit, engineered for capacitor switching and supplied with limiting resistors. This 3-pole unit delivers up to 75 kvar at 400 V with a 230 VAC 50/60 Hz coil, balancing performance and efficiency in reactive power compensation. The BFK115 product family's flexible screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting streamlines installation in OEM equipment and panel upgrades.
Built for reliability, the BFK115 offers Ui 690 V, Uimp 8 kV and Ith 160 A, with a wide -50 to 70 °C operating temperature and a mechanical life of 15,000,000 cycles. Conforming to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 plus UL and CSA standards, this power factor correction contactor fits industrial panels where consistent capacitor switching and proven compliance are essential.
