Why Choose the BFK2600A048?
Lovato’s BFK2600A048 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit, engineered for switching capacitor banks up to 20 kvar at 400 V. Featuring integrated limiting resistors and a 48 VAC 50/60 Hz coil, this 3‑pole unit delivers dependable operation. Part of the BFK26 range, it supports screw fixing or 35 mm DIN rail mounting for fast panel integration.
Rated insulation voltage of 690 V and 6 kV impulse withstand ensure robust dielectric performance, while Ith 45 A and a 20,000,000-cycle mechanical life support long service. Operates from −50 to +70 °C up to 3000 m altitude, Pollution Degree 3. Conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, plus UL and CSA equivalents, giving panel builders confidence in demanding UK industrial and commercial installations.
