BFK1810A57560 - 3P CONTACTOR 15KVAR 575V 60HZ

Why Choose the BFK1810A57560?

Lovato BFK1810A57560 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit, engineered for reliable capacitor switching. This 3-pole unit supports 15kvar at 400V and features a 575VAC 60Hz coil, built-in limiting resistors and an integrated 1NO auxiliary contact. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting simplifies panel integration while the BFK18 designation assures compatibility across Lovato power factor correction assemblies.

Designed for tough environments, this contactor delivers a rated insulation voltage Ui of 690 V and a 6 kV impulse withstand rating, with Ith at 32 A. A mechanical life of 20000000 cycles, -50 to 70 °C operating range, and pollution degree 3 rating ensure longevity. It conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, plus UL and CSA standards, with max altitude of 3000 m.
