Why Choose the BFK11500A400?
Engineered for reliable capacitor switching, the Lovato BFK11500A400 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit. It delivers up to 75 kVAr at 400 V, features a 3‑pole design, and uses a 400 VAC 50/60 Hz coil. Mounting is flexible via screw fixing or 35 mm DIN rail, streamlining integration in PFC panels and three‑phase switchboards.
Built for demanding environments, the BFK115 series offers Ui 690 V, Uimp 8 kV and Ith 160 A, with a mechanical life of 15,000,000 cycles. Operating temperature spans −50 to 70 °C and storage −60 to 80 °C, with use up to 3000 m altitude, pollution degree 3. Conformity to IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards supports consistent performance.
