Why Choose the BFK1210A024?
The Lovato BFK1210A024 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit, supplied with limiting resistors for reliable capacitor switching. Rated at 12.5 kvar at 400 V, this 3‑pole unit features a 24 VAC 50/60 Hz coil and a built‑in 1NO auxiliary contact. Flexible screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting streamlines panel integration in new builds and retrofits.
Engineered for durability, the BFK12 series delivers a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles, Ui 690 V and Uimp 6 kV, with Ith 28 A for dependable performance. It operates from −50 to +70 °C, up to 3000 m altitude, pollution degree 3, and meets IEC/EN/BS 60947-1/-4-1 plus UL and CSA equivalents, supporting sustainable specification choices.
