BFK1810A22060 - 3P CONTACTOR 15KVAR 220V 60HZ

Why Choose the BFK1810A22060?

Engineered for reliable capacitor switching, the Lovato BFK1810A22060 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit. It features built-in limiting resistors to mitigate inrush, a 3‑pole design, and a 220VAC 60Hz coil. Delivering up to 15 kvar at 400V, this BFK18 series device supports screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting for flexible installation in UK industrial control panels.

Built for demanding environments, the BFK1810A22060 offers 690 V Ui, 6 kV Uimp and 32 A Ith, with a wide −50 to 70 °C operating range and mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. A built‑in 1NO auxiliary contact aids signalling. Rated for installations up to 3000 m and pollution degree 3, it conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1/-4-1, UL 60947-1/-4-1 and CSA C22.2 n° 60947-1/-4-1.
