Schneider Electric BLRCS010A012B40 EasyLogic 1/1.2 kvar 400 V Power Factor Correction Capacitor

The Schneider Electric BLRCS010A012B40 is an EasyLogic power factor correction capacitor rated 1 kvar at 400 V, 50 Hz (1.2 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 1 kvar and 400 V, the BLRCS010A012B40 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.
