BFK1210A12060 - 3P CONTACTOR 12 5KVAR 120V 60HZ

Why Choose the BFK1210A12060?

Lovato BFK1210A12060 is a contactor for power factor correction with AC control circuit, engineered for reliable capacitor switching. Delivering 12.5kvar at 400V, it features an AC coil rated 120VAC 60Hz, three poles and a 1NO auxiliary. Built-in limiting resistors reduce inrush. Flexible screw or 35mm DIN rail mounting supports fast panel integration.

Part of the BFK12 range, it carries Ui 690 V and Uimp 6 kV, with Ith 28 A and terminal torque 1.5–1.8 Nm. Rated for 20,000,000 mechanical cycles, it operates from -50 to 70 °C and stores from -60 to 80 °C. Suitable up to 3000 m, Pollution Degree 3, and conforms to IEC/EN/BS, UL and CSA standards.
