Lovato BFK3200A048 three-pole power factor correction contactor with limiting resistors, a 48 V AC 50/60 Hz coil and a 25 kvar AC-6b rating at 400 V for capacitor switching applications.
£155.12
The Lovato BFK3200A048 is a dedicated three-pole power factor correction contactor designed for reliable switching of capacitor banks in industrial reactive power compensation systems. Part of the Lovato BFK32 series, it is specifically developed for AC-6b capacitor switching applications and includes limiting resistors to help manage the high inrush currents generated during capacitor energisation.
This contactor features a 48 V AC coil rated for 50/60 Hz operation and is designed for automatic power factor correction equipment where reliable and repeated capacitor stage switching is required.
With a maximum IEC operational power rating of 25 kvar at 400 V, the BFK3200A048 provides dependable capacitor switching performance for industrial power management, reactive compensation panels and electrical distribution systems.
Power factor correction contactors are designed to switch capacitor banks used to compensate reactive power in electrical installations. Capacitors can create high transient currents when energised, so dedicated contactors such as the Lovato BFK3200A048 incorporate limiting resistors to improve switching reliability.
The BFK3200A048 combines dedicated AC-6b capacitor switching performance with a 48 V AC 50/60 Hz control coil, providing a reliable solution for automatic power factor correction systems and industrial electrical panels.
