BFK3200A04860 - 3P CONTACTOR 25KVAR 48V 60HZ
MPN: BFK3200A04860
Why Choose the BFK3200A04860?
The Lovato BFK3200A04860 is a power factor correction contactor with an AC control circuit, engineered for reliable capacitor switching. Delivering up to 25 kvar at 400 V, it features a 48 VAC 60 Hz coil and integrated limiting resistors to reduce inrush. The 3-pole BFK32 series unit offers flexible installation via screw fixing or 35 mm DIN rail, making it a robust choice for panel builders and maintenance teams.
Built for longevity and safety, it provides Ui 690 V and Uimp 6 kV, with Ith 56 A and a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. Operating from −50 to 70 °C up to 3000 m altitude (pollution degree 3), it suits demanding environments. Conformity includes IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60947-1, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 n° 60947-1 and 60947-4-1. Terminal torque is 2.5–3 Nm.
