The Schneider Electric Square D PFCD4017R is a power factor correction capacitor bank designed for industrial electrical systems. This unit belongs to the PFCD series, engineered to improve power quality and reduce energy costs by compensating for inductive reactive power. It is specifically configured for 480V systems and provides 17.5 kvar of reactive power compensation.

Technical details

• Series: PFCD
• Voltage Rating: 480V AC
• Apparent Power Rating: 17.5 kVAR
• Configuration: T-3R (likely indicates a specific enclosure type and internal arrangement)
• Protection: Unfused (requires external fusing or circuit breaker protection)
• Enclosure Type: T-3R (refer to manufacturer datasheet for detailed enclosure specifications and environmental ratings)
• Frequency: Designed for standard industrial power frequencies (typically 60 Hz, verify with datasheet)
• Capacitor Type: Dry type, metallized film construction (common for this series, verify with datasheet)

Applications & compatibility

This capacitor bank is suitable for installation in facilities with significant inductive loads, such as manufacturing plants, data centers, and commercial buildings. It is commonly integrated into main electrical distribution panels or motor control centers to mitigate voltage sags, reduce transformer and conductor loading, and avoid power factor penalties from utility providers. Compatibility should be verified with the overall electrical system design and protection schemes.
