About the BLRCS030A036B44
About the BLRCS030A036B44
The Schneider Electric BLRCS030A036B44 is an EasyLogic power factor correction capacitor rated 3 kvar at 440 V, 50 Hz (3.6 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 3 kvar and 440 V, the BLRCS030A036B44 fits a step within an automatic power factor correction bank sized for stable, largely linear loads. Move to the next EasyLogic step in the 440 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.
