Schneider Electric BLRCH106A127B52 VarPlus Can HDuty 10.6/12.7 kvar 525 V Power Factor Correction Capacitor

The Schneider Electric BLRCH106A127B52 is a VarPlus Can HDuty power factor correction capacitor rated 10.6 kvar at 525 V, 50 Hz (12.7 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 BLRCH106A127B52 to the switchboard's nominal voltage (525 V) and the reactive power step the correction bank needs -- 10.6 kvar at 50 Hz, 12.7 kvar at 60 Hz. Specify this 525 V-rated unit on medium-voltage-adjacent 525 V distribution boards, where the 400 V or 440 V variants would be under-rated for the bus voltage. 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.
