The APMCA01LCY6RH is a power filter from the Schneider Electric Altivar Process Modular series, designed to sit between the supply and the drive in a cabinet-mounted installation. The integrated EMC filter meets category C3 for 300 m cable runs, keeping conducted emissions within IEC 61800-3 limits without an external box.
The 200 A line current at 500-690 V sets the maximum continuous load the filter can carry in normal duty; for heavy-duty applications (higher ambient or overload cycles), the rating drops to 163 A. The supply voltage range of 500...690 V -10...10 % means it works on 480 V systems at the low end and 690 V at the high end, covering common global industrial voltages. Apparent power is 239 kVA in normal duty and 195 kVA in heavy duty — useful for sizing upstream transformers or switchgear. Total harmonic current distortion (THDI) is less than 48 % at full load, conforming to IEC 61000-3-12. That keeps line harmonics within the standard's limits without additional filtering for most installations. The filter is IP00, so it requires enclosure in a cabinet. Mounting is vertical, cabinet-integrated, with dimensions 1249 mm high, 269 mm wide, and 506 mm deep — plan for a cabinet depth of at least 600 mm to allow rear clearance for cables and airflow.
Rated for operation from -10 to 40 °C without derating, and up to 50 °C with derating. Pollution degree 2 (IEC 61800-5-1) means it's suitable for normal industrial environments with only non-conductive pollution. Chemical and dust resistance classes 3C3 and 3S3 per IEC 60721-3-3 cover aggressive atmospheres and moderate dust — typical for process plants. Compliance documentation includes CE marking and UL 61800-5-1, plus IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61000-3-12 (harmonics), IEC 60721-3 (environmental), IEC 61508 (functional safety), and IEC 13849-1. The EMC immunity levels are test level 3 for ESD, radiated RF, conducted RF, and surge, with level 4 for fast transients — robust for noisy plant floors.
