Why Choose the BFK1210A23060?
The Lovato BFK1210A23060 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit, designed for reliable capacitor switching. Rated at 12.5 kvar at 400 V and fitted with a 230 VAC 60 Hz coil, it features a 3-pole configuration with 1NO auxiliary contact. Integrated limiting resistors help reduce inrush. Flexible screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting simplifies panel installation.
Built for demanding environments, the BFK12 series offers Ui 690 V and 6 kV impulse withstand, with Ith 28 A for robust performance. A mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles and an operating range from -50 to 70 °C support long service. Rated Pollution Degree 3 and suitable up to 3000 m altitude, it conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947 and related UL/CSA standards.
