BFK11500A024 - CONTACTOR FOR PFC 75KVAR 24VAC 50/60HZ
MPN: BFK11500A024
Why Choose the BFK11500A024?
Engineered for dependable capacitor switching, the Lovato BFK11500A024 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit. It includes integrated limiting resistors to control inrush, a 24 VAC 50/60 Hz coil and a 3‑pole layout delivering up to 75 kvar at 400 V. Based on the BFK115 platform, it’s ideal for low‑voltage PFC panels needing consistent performance.
Installation is straightforward via screw fixing or 35 mm DIN rail, with rugged electrical ratings: Ui 690 V, Uimp 8 kV and Ith 160 A. Designed for durability, it offers 15,000,000 mechanical cycles, operates from −50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m altitude, Pollution Degree 3. Conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, with UL and CSA references, plus Sustainability certification.
