Product details

Altivar Process Modular power module for 160 kW drives

The APM1A0C16N4 is a 160 kW (normal duty) / 132 kW (heavy duty) power module in the Altivar Process Modular range, rated for 380...480 VAC three-phase input. It delivers 302 A continuous at 2.5 kHz for normal duty and 250 A for heavy duty, matching a 250 hp motor at 480 V normal duty or 200 hp heavy duty. This is the power stage only — the kit includes the mains unit, fan supply, and fan relay, but you'll need the matching control module and cabinet integration. Physical footprint: 1705 mm height, 230 mm wide, 510 mm deep — that's a full-height cabinet mount, not a wall-mount. IP00 as shipped; cabinet integration can achieve IP21 or IP54 per IEC 61800‑5‑1.
