Product details

This is the APM1B0C20Y6, an Altivar Process Modular power module from Schneider Electric. It's the line-side / regenerative section of a modular drive system, rated for 200 kW normal duty (160 kW heavy duty) at 500...690 V three-phase. The continuous output current is 215 A at 2.5 kHz for normal duty, 175 A for heavy duty. It ships as a kit: power module, three fuse holders, and mounting hardware.

The 215 A continuous output at 2.5 kHz is the normal-duty figure — that's your sustained motor current for a 200 kW asynchronous or synchronous motor on a 500...690 V line. Heavy duty drops to 175 A at 2.5 kHz, which covers 160 kW for higher starting torque or cyclic loads. The switching frequency is adjustable 2.5...4.9 kHz with derating; if you need quieter motor operation at 4.9 kHz, expect a lower continuous current. The integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 with 300 m of motor cable — that's second-environment (industrial) compliance. For first-environment (residential) you'd need an external filter. Total harmonic distortion of input current (THDI) is under 5% at full load, which keeps line pollution low without a separate line reactor in most cases. Cabinet mount only, IP00 as delivered. Dimensions are 1722 mm high, 450 mm wide, 508 mm deep.

This module drives asynchronous or synchronous motors in pump, fan, conveyor, or regenerative applications — any process line where you need a modular, serviceable drive architecture. The regenerative capability means it can return energy to the line during deceleration, which cuts braking resistor costs and improves system efficiency.

Standards and environment
