BFK9500A110 - CONTACTOR FOR PFC 60KVAR 110VAC 50/60HZ

Why Choose the BFK9500A110?

Engineered for dependable capacitor switching, the Lovato BFK9500A110 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit. This 3‑pole unit delivers 60 kvar at 400 V and features integrated limiting resistors to curb inrush. A 110VAC 50/60Hz coil, Ui 690 V and Uimp 8 kV ensure robust performance in low‑voltage PFC applications.

Built for longevity and flexibility, the BFK95 series contactor offers Ith 140 A and a mechanical life of 15,000,000 cycles. It installs via screw or 35 mm DIN rail, operates from −50 to 70 °C up to 3000 m altitude, and meets IEC/EN/BS 60947-1/-4-1, UL and CSA standards for assured compliance across UK industrial sites.
