Full compliance docs on file: CE marked, built to IEC 61800-3, IEC 61800-5-1, IEC 61000-3-12, IEC 60721-3, IEC 61508, and ISO 13849-1. Pollution degree 2. Environmental resistances: chemical 3C3, dust 3S3 per IEC 60721-3-3. Operates -10 to 40 °C without derating, up to 50 °C with derating; stores -40 to 70 °C. Vibration 1.5 mm pp at 2–13 Hz / 0.5 gn at 13–200 Hz; shock 7 gn / 11 ms. Insulation >1 MOhm at 500 VDC to earth. Condition is everything — this one is new in box, no cut wires or missing brackets. ## Installation notes for the panel builder Mount vertical ±10°. Kit includes power module, mains unit, three fuse holders, and brackets with nuts/screws/washers for fuses. Cabinet integration gives IP21 or IP54 depending on enclosure — IP21 is typical for dry indoor, IP54 for dusty or splash-prone. Prospective line Isc of 50 kA — size upstream fuses or breaker accordingly. Switching frequency adjustable 2.5–8 kHz; if you run above 2.5 kHz, derate output current per the manual (figure not quoted here, but it's in the datasheet). Ambient temp derating kicks in above 40 °C. ## Putting it to work — motor side This module handles both synchronous and asynchronous motors. At 480 V, normal duty 250 hp / heavy duty 200 hp. Apparent power: 223 kVA normal duty, 181 kVA heavy duty. THDI stays under 48% from 80–100 % load with the integrated filter. Use heavy duty for constant-torque loads (conveyors, extruders); normal duty for variable-torque (pumps, fans). Operating altitude up to 4800 m with current derating above 1000 m.","metaTitle":"Schneider APM1A0C16N401 Power Module 160kW 380-480V","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric APM1A0C16N401 power module, 160 kW/132 kW at 380-480 V.
