BFK2600A024 - 3P CONTACTOR 20KVAR 24V 50/60HZ

Why Choose the BFK2600A024?

Lovato’s BFK2600A024 is a contactor for power factor correction with AC control circuit, engineered for reliable capacitor switching. It includes limiting resistors, delivers up to 20 kvar at 400 V, and uses a 24 VAC 50/60 Hz coil. The 3‑pole design mounts via screws or on a 35 mm DIN rail, streamlining installation in new builds and upgrades.

Built on the BFK26 platform, it offers 690 V rated insulation, 6 kV impulse withstand, and 45 A Ith for robust service. A 20,000,000‑cycle mechanical life, wide −50 to 70 °C operating range, and suitability up to 3000 m altitude support demanding sites. Conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and -4-1, with UL and CSA approvals, and a Sustainability certification.
