Why Choose the BFK8000A400?
Lovato’s BFK8000A400 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit, built for reliable capacitor bank switching. Rated 50 kvar at 400 V and fitted with a 400 VAC 50/60 Hz coil, it includes limiting resistors to manage inrush. The 3‑pole BFK80 platform brings long life and flexible screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting for efficient assembly and service.
Engineered for demanding environments, this contactor offers Ui 690 V, Uimp 8 kV and Ith 115 A, with a mechanical life of 15,000,000 cycles. It operates from -50 to 70 °C up to 3000 m altitude, pollution degree 3. Compliance with IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards supports panel approvals, while a Sustainability certification aligns with responsible specification.
