BFK2600A12060 - 3P CONTACTOR 20KVAR 120V 60HZ

Why Choose the BFK2600A12060?

Engineered for capacitor bank switching, the Lovato BFK2600A12060 is a contactor for power factor correction with an AC control circuit. Rated at 20 kvar at 400 V across three poles, it uses a 120 VAC 60 Hz coil and integrated limiting resistors to temper inrush currents. Straightforward screw or 35 mm DIN rail mounting streamlines panel integration.

Built for demanding environments, the BFK26 series offers Ui 690 V, Uimp 6 kV and Ith 45 A, with a mechanical life of 20,000,000 cycles. Operates from −50 to 70 °C, stores −60 to 80 °C, up to 3000 m altitude, pollution degree 3. Conforms to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, plus UL and CSA equivalents, with sustainability certification.
