BFK3200A024 - 3P CONTACTOR 25KVAR 24V 50/60HZ

Why Choose the BFK3200A024?

Lovato’s BFK3200A024 contactor for power factor correction with AC control circuit delivers reliable capacitor switching for PFC panels. The SKU BFK3200A024 features a 24VAC 50/60Hz coil and integrated limiting resistors, handling up to 25 kvar at 400V across three poles. Designed for quick installation on screw terminals or 35mm DIN rail, it offers robust performance for UK industrial power factor correction and distribution applications.

Engineered to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, with UL and CSA approvals, this BFK32 unit provides Ui 690 V, Uimp 6 kV and Ith 56 A. A mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles, -50 to 70 °C operating range, 2.5–3 Nm terminal torque and pollution degree 3 rating support demanding environments, while 400 g weight and 35mm DIN rail mounting simplify panel integration up to 3000 m altitude.
