BFK2600A46060 - 3P CONTACTOR 20KVAR 460V 60HZ

Why Choose the BFK2600A46060?

Engineered for dependable capacitor switching, the Lovato BFK2600A46060 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit. It integrates limiting resistors to reduce inrush, and delivers 20 kvar IEC operational power at 400 V. With a 460 VAC 60 Hz coil and 3 poles, it suits three‑phase PFC steps. Flexible screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting simplifies panel integration.

Designed for durability in demanding environments, the BFK26 series contactor offers 690 V rated insulation, 6 kV impulse withstand and 45 A Ith. It achieves 20,000,000 mechanical operations and works from −50 to 70 °C, up to 3000 m altitude, pollution degree 3. Conformity includes IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, plus UL and CSA equivalents. Terminal torque is 2.5–3 Nm, and weight is 400 g.
