Why Choose the BFK1810A04860?
The Lovato BFK1810A04860 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit, engineered to switch capacitor banks reliably. With 3 poles and an IEC operational power of 15 kvar at 400V, it integrates limiting resistors to temper inrush currents. The 48VAC 60Hz coil and a pre-fitted 1NO auxiliary contact simplify panel integration. Mounting options include screw fixing or 35mm DIN rail for flexible installation.
Built on the BFK18 platform, this power factor correction contactor carries Ui 690 V, Uimp 6 kV and Ith 32 A for robust endurance. It achieves a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles and operates from -50 to 70 °C up to 3000 m altitude. Conformity includes IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, with UL and CSA standards, supporting reliable performance in UK panel-building applications.
