Schneider Electric BLRCH100A120B44 VarPlus Can HDuty 10/12 kvar 440 V Power Factor Correction Capacitor

The Schneider Electric BLRCH100A120B44 is a VarPlus Can HDuty power factor correction capacitor rated 10 kvar at 440 V, 50 Hz (12 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 clamptite terminal.

Selection Notes

Match the BLRCH100A120B44 to the switchboard's nominal voltage (440 V) and the reactive power step the correction bank needs -- 10 kvar at 50 Hz, 12 kvar at 60 Hz. At 10 kvar it steps up to the 75 mm ClampTite-terminal can, the point in the range where the Double Faston connection of the smaller capacitors is replaced by a ClampTite terminal. 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.
