Schneider Electric BLRCH125A150B60 VarPlus Can HDuty 12.5/15 kvar 600 V Power Factor Correction Capacitor

The Schneider Electric BLRCH125A150B60 is a VarPlus Can HDuty power factor correction capacitor rated 12.5 kvar at 600 V, 50 Hz (15 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 BLRCH125A150B60 to the switchboard's nominal voltage (600 V) and the reactive power step the correction bank needs -- 12.5 kvar at 50 Hz, 15 kvar at 60 Hz. At 600 V the can steps up to 116 mm and 2.5 kg, the same enclosure size used for the 575 V and 690 V 12+ kvar variants, so confirm panel clearance before substituting it for a 90 mm 125/150 unit. 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.
