BFK6500A024 - PFC CONTACTOR 45KVAR 24VAC 50/60HZ

Why Choose the BFK6500A024?

Designed for reliable capacitor switching, the Lovato BFK6500A024 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit. Delivering up to 45 kvar at 400 V, this 3‑pole BFK65 unit includes limiting resistors to reduce inrush. A 24 VAC 50/60 Hz coil ensures straightforward integration, while screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting simplifies installation in PFC panels and OEM assemblies.

Built for demanding environments, the contactor offers Ui 690 V and Uimp 8 kV insulation ratings, with Ith 100 A for robust performance. A mechanical life of 15,000,000 cycles and an operating range from -50 to 70 °C at altitudes up to 3000 m support long service life. Compliant with IEC/EN/BS, UL and CSA standards and Pollution Degree 3, terminals accept 4–5 Nm torque for secure, dependable connections.
