Schneider Electric announces launch of VarPlus Can and EasyCan capacitors for safe, reliable and cost effective power factor correction and power quality improvement.

VarPlus Can capacitors offer high quality, safety and a unique termination system allowing users to achieve high performance with flexibility. EasyCan capacitors allow users to achieve the performance they need with robust quality and safety.

January, Monday 20, 2014: Schneider Electric today announced the introduction of VarPlus Can and EasyCan capacitors for power factor correction applications. These additions to the power quality portfolio are engineered for ease of use, quality, safety and high performance. This range is manufactured in the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bangalore which also serves over 40 countries worldwide. The new range covers the full spectrum of power factor and power quality applications across multiple end user segments and conforms to IEC 60831 (Parts 1 & 2).

VarPlus Can capacitors are available up to 50kvar in a single can and help users save up to 30% panel space due to their compact design. These capacitors are specially engineered for high performance in networks polluted with harmonics and in critical applications. The unique built-in three phase pressure sensitive disconnector ensures safe disconnection at end of life. VarPlus Can capacitors are fully compatible and type tested with Schneider Electric solutions (Prisma & Blokset) allowing partners to build type tested solutions.

EasyCan capacitors are optimized to meet standard application needs and are fully type tested as per IEC standards. The capacitors are available from 1kvar to 30kvar and are engineered and tested for maximum safety and reliability.

Built-in and tamper proof discharge resistors combined with the three phase pressure sensitive disconnector makes these products safe during installation, operation and maintenance. User friendly labels are a first in the industry and provide installation and safety tips on the usage of the product. The unique Clamptite termination system is designed to maintain tightness and reduce risk of loose connections.
