Schneider Electric BLRCH050A060B40 VarPlus Can HDuty 5/6 kvar 400 V Power Factor Correction Capacitor

The Schneider Electric BLRCH050A060B40 is a VarPlus Can HDuty power factor correction capacitor rated 5 kvar at 400 V, 50 Hz (6 kvar at 60 Hz), built for networks with up to 20% harmonic content where the circulating harmonic current requires an increased rated current capacitor rather than a standard-duty unit. Fastening is by double faston terminal.

Selection Notes

Match the BLRCH050A060B40 to the switchboard's nominal voltage (400 V) and the reactive power step the correction bank needs -- 5 kvar at 50 Hz, 6 kvar at 60 Hz. It is the smallest-can variant in the HDuty range (63 mm diameter), and the 400 V nominal rating also covers the 380-415 V band, so it fits 380, 400 and 415 V boards without a separate SKU. The 1.8 x In continuous overcurrent capacity and <=20% permissible network harmonic content make HDuty construction the right choice where variable-speed drives or other non-linear loads circulate harmonic current; on a clean network a VarPlus Can SDuty unit would be the lower-cost alternative.
