Why Choose the BFK3200A230?
The Lovato BFK3200A230 is a contactor for power factor correction with AC control circuit, engineered to switch capacitor banks safely and efficiently. With integrated limiting resistors, a 3-pole configuration and a 230 VAC 50/60 Hz coil, it delivers dependable performance up to 25 kVAR at 400 V. Flexible installation via screw fixings or 35 mm DIN rail suits new builds and upgrades.
Built for demanding environments, the BFK32 series offers Ui 690 V, Uimp 6 kV and Ith 56 A, with mechanical life rated at 20000000 cycles. Operates from -50 to 70 °C, up to 3000 m altitude, pollution degree 3. Complies with IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, plus UL and CSA equivalents, and features 2.5 to 3 Nm terminal torque and 400 g weight.
