BFK9500A024 - CONTACTOR FOR PFC 60KVAR 24VAC 50/60HZ

Why Choose the BFK9500A024?

Engineered for reliable capacitor switching, the Lovato BFK9500A024 Contactor for power factor correction with AC control circuit delivers dependable performance in low-voltage installations. Featuring a 24VAC 50/60Hz coil and integrated limiting resistors, this three-pole BFK95 unit provides up to 60kvar at 400V. Compact and installer-friendly, it mounts via screw fixings or 35mm DIN rail, supporting efficient power factor correction while helping to reduce inrush stress on capacitors.

Built for longevity and safety, it offers Ui 690 V, Uimp 8 kV and Ith 140 A, with a mechanical life of 15,000,000 cycles. Operating from -50 to 70 °C and up to 3000 m (pollution degree 3), it conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, plus UL and CSA equivalents. Terminals accept 6 to 7 Nm tightening torque, and the 2095 g build suits panel builders and OEMs.
