Schneider Electric BLRCS025A030B40 EasyLogic 2.5/3 kvar 400 V Power Factor Correction Capacitor

The Schneider Electric BLRCS025A030B40 is an EasyLogic power factor correction capacitor rated 2.5 kvar at 400 V, 50 Hz (3 kvar at 60 Hz). Built for standard operating conditions with network harmonic content up to 10 %, it corrects the reactive power drawn by stable, largely linear loads, cutting the current an installation pulls from the supply and avoiding low-power-factor penalties on the utility bill.

Selection Notes

At 2.5 kvar and 400 V, the BLRCS025A030B40 fits a step within an automatic power factor correction bank sized for stable, largely linear loads. Move to the next EasyLogic step in the 400 V family as the compensated reactive load grows, or down a step for finer switching granularity. Because continuous overcurrent capacity is limited to 1.5 x In, keep this variant on networks where harmonic content stays at or below 10%; on busbars with higher distortion from variable-speed drives or rectifiers, the VarPlus Can HDuty range with its 1.8 x In rating is the right choice instead.
