About the BLRCSM008A010B40
The Schneider Electric BLRCSM008A010B40 is a PowerLogic standard-duty power factor correction capacitor rated 0.8 kvar at 400 V AC, 50 Hz (1 kvar at 60 Hz), for single-phase circuits in networks with low harmonic pollution. It is built for indoor installation and sized for continuous operation at up to 1.8 times rated current.

Selection Notes
This single-phase PowerLogic unit covers the smaller end of the EasyLogic SDuty step range — pick the kvar rating that matches the measured single-phase reactive deficit rather than the nearest three-phase bank, since mixing step sizes across phases on an unbalanced single-phase load is what the M-series line exists to correct. It is a standard-duty (SDuty) design for stable networks without significant non-linear loads; where harmonic-generating single-phase loads are present, a detuned-reactor heavy-duty capacitor is needed instead.
