BFK6500A230 - PFC CONTACTOR 45KVAR 230VAC 50/60HZ

Why Choose the BFK6500A230?

Lovato’s BFK6500A230 contactor for power factor correction with AC control circuit delivers dependable switching for reactive power compensation. It integrates limiting resistors and a 230VAC 50/60Hz coil for controlled engagement of PFC stages. Rated 45 kvar at 400V with a three‑pole configuration, this BFK65 series unit supports efficient, space‑saving panel layouts and consistent performance in demanding low‑voltage environments.

Engineered for resilience, the BFK6500A230 offers 15,000,000 mechanical cycles, Ui 690 V and Uimp 8 kV, with Ith 100 A for robust service. Screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting speeds installation, and operation from −50 to 70 °C suits sites up to 3000 m altitude. Conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, plus UL and CSA equivalents for broad compliance.
