Why Choose the BFK9500A400?
Engineered for capacitor bank switching, the Lovato BFK9500A400 (SKU: BFK9500A400) is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit and integrated limiting resistors. Delivering up to 60 kvar at 400 V, it features a 400 VAC 50/60 Hz coil, 3 poles, and versatile screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting for rapid panel integration.
Built for demanding environments, the BFK95 platform offers 690 V Ui insulation and 8 kV impulse withstand, with Ith rated at 140 A for robust performance. A mechanical life of 15,000,000 cycles, -50 to 70 °C operating range and use up to 3,000 m altitude ensure reliability. Compliant with IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards, with terminals tightened to 6–7 Nm.
