The Schneider Electric MEHVBAPP170A48 is an industrial 3-phase low voltage power factor correction capacitor rated at 17.0 kVAr at 480V AC, 50/60 Hz. Designed for international installations, it complies fully with global IEC 60831-1 and IEC 60831-2 standards (as well as UL/CSA certifications where applicable). It features an enclosure type of Box (Modular Sheet Steel Enclosure) under the VarPlus Box APP (All Polypropylene / Double Dielectric Film+Foil Heavy Duty) architecture. The rated nominal phase current is approximately 20.45 A, engineered to operate across standard industrial ambient temperatures (-25°C to +55°C, Class D) with low dielectric dissipation losses (≤0.2 W/kVAr to 0.5 W/kVAr). Electrihub supplies this genuine Schneider unit with manufacturer test compliance for worldwide export.
The Schneider Electric MEHVBAPP170A48 is rated at 480V AC, making it specifically optimized for 400V/415V nominal electrical networks equipped with 7% (189 Hz) detuned harmonic filter reactors. Under a 400V grid, this capacitor delivers an effective output of ~11.81 kVAr (or ~12.71 kVAr at 415V), perfectly counteracting harmonic amplification and resonance from non-linear loads like VFDs and rectifiers. Engineered with enhanced dielectric withstand capability, it safely handles continuous overcurrents up to 1.5–1.8 times rated current (In) and substantial current crest factors. For facilities with harmonic pollution exceeding IEEE 519 thresholds, Electrihub technical engineers recommend configuring the MEHVBAPP170A48 alongside appropriately matched Schneider detuned iron-core reactors to prevent parallel resonance.
The MEHVBAPP170A48 utilizes an advanced All Polypropylene (APP) film and aluminium foil system with environmentally safe, non-PCB biodegradable synthetic fluid impregnation. This construction delivers exceptional surge withstand (up to 300x–350x In inrush) and robust thermal dissipation in heavy industrial plants. It features an integrated 3-phase overpressure disconnector mechanism that mechanically isolates all three phases simultaneously in the event of internal fault pressure buildup, preventing case rupture. Additionally, self-healing dielectric properties vaporize microscopic localized breakdowns within microseconds without interrupting service, while factory-fitted discharge resistors reduce terminal residual voltage to below 50V within 60 seconds of disconnection as required by IEC standards.
The Schneider MEHVBAPP170A48 (17.0 kVAr) is designed for seamless mounting in modular APFC capacitor banks, fixed motor compensation, and MCC switchboards. When installed in switched stages, it should be controlled by capacitor-duty contactors (such as Schneider TeSys LC1D•K with early-make damping resistors) or static thyristor switching modules (such as Schneider Classica/Varlogic switches) to suppress severe switching inrush transients (up to 200x–250x In). Panel designers should maintain minimum 30–50 mm clearances around the unit for convection cooling, and connect via properly rated flexible copper cabling to prevent terminal mechanical stress.
Electrihub (electrihub.com) is a premier global distributor of authentic Schneider Electric power quality and switchgear solutions. When you source the MEHVBAPP170A48 from Electrihub, you receive 100% brand-new, factory-sealed components complete with full manufacturer serial traceability, global export packaging, technical compliance datasheets, and standard manufacturer warranty. Electrihub delivers competitive pricing, technical sizing support for APFC integration across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, and fast worldwide logistics.

Nilesh Singh Sep 18, 2026

Managing procurement across multiple industrial sites is easy with Electrihub India. Ordered MEHVBAPP170A48 with our company GSTIN, received automated dispatch notifications, and received original brand units on site. Highly recommended for industrial electrical procurement.

Ranganathan Sethi Sep 18, 2026

Ordered the MEHVBAPP170A48 capacitor via Electrihub India. Transit across states took barely three days, and live tracking was shared immediately upon dispatch. The package was sealed tight and completely weather-protected. Top-class logistics handling.

Abhijit Joshi Sep 18, 2026

There are plenty of duplicate and reconditioned capacitors floating in local wholesale markets, which are a major fire hazard. We bought the Schneider MEHVBAPP170A48 from Electrihub India specifically for genuine OEM assurance. The capacitor arrived in tamper-proof factory packaging with original manufacturer test markings and warranty.

Manish Rao Sep 18, 2026

Our injection molding plant required a dependable capacitor bank overhaul. Purchased the Schneider MEHVBAPP170A48 through Electrihub India. Capacitance values tested accurately against rated values, and the discharge performance is fast and safe. Zero complaints on performance.

Naveen Tiwari Sep 18, 2026

Our electrical contracting team installed five units of Schneider MEHVBAPP170A48 purchased from Electrihub India. The discharge resistors functioned as specified, quickly dropping residual voltage below 50V within a minute of de-energizing. Great product for panel safety.

Paul C Nov 3, 2025

Installed easily, no issues, works like a charm.

Kunal G Nov 3, 2025

Our manufacturing plant integrated the MEHVBAPP170A48 capacitor into the main switchboard to improve power quality. Schneider engineering is evident in the robust design and thermal management. Electrihub provided excellent technical support during setup. The capacitor has maintained stability even during peak demand in UK.

Riya P Nov 3, 2025

Excellent capacitor, stable performance, great value.

Emily S Nov 3, 2025

Our plant uses these capacitors for reactive power compensation. Performance is consistent and the build quality is solid. Perfect for industrial applications.
