APC by Schneider Electric 0J-0M-34002516AC 80KVA AC Output Capacitor
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric 0J-0M-34002516AC is a service assembly AC capacitor rated for 80KVA output, designed as a replacement or spare component within compatible APC large UPS and power conditioning systems. At approximately 4 lb, this is a field-serviceable internal assembly — not a standalone device — and its primary role is to support power factor correction and output voltage stability within the host system. If you are maintaining or repairing an APC three-phase or large single-phase UPS platform that calls for this part number, this is the factory-correct replacement. Browse the APC by Schneider Electric catalog for the full range of compatible UPS platforms and service parts.
Key Features
- 80KVA Output Rating: The capacitor assembly is rated to the full 80KVA output capacity of its host UPS system. This means it is sized to handle the reactive power demands of the entire inverter output stage — installing an under-rated substitute risks thermal stress and premature failure under full load. Specifying the correct 80KVA-rated part is non-negotiable for systems running at or near capacity.
- Service Assembly Design: Engineered as a direct drop-in service assembly (S/A), the 0J-0M-34002516AC is intended for technician-level replacement during scheduled maintenance or unplanned repair events. This design minimizes downtime compared to sourcing generic capacitor stock and field-fabricating a replacement — the assembly installs as a single unit.
- Lightweight Field Component (approx. 4 lb): At roughly 4 lb, this assembly is manageable for a single technician to handle during a rack-level service call, reducing the logistics burden for on-site maintenance teams who need to bring spares to data centers or equipment rooms.
- Country of Origin — China, Factory-New: This is a genuine, factory-new APC by Schneider Electric component, not a refurbished or third-party substitute. For critical power infrastructure, using factory-sourced service assemblies ensures the part meets the original design tolerances specified for the host UPS platform.
- UPC-Verified Part: The 0J-0M-34002516AC (often searched as 0J 0M 34002516AC) carries UPC 731304657941, providing a verifiable manufacturer part identity that simplifies procurement through standard purchasing systems and avoids mis-shipment risk common with generic capacitor orders.
Integration & Compatibility
This capacitor assembly is a UPS and power system service part. Compatibility is determined entirely by the APC host platform that specifies part number 0J-0M-34002516AC — do not install this assembly in a system that does not explicitly call for this part number. Consult your APC service documentation or the system's parts list before ordering. For data center and critical facility applications, pairing with an appropriate power protection strategy — including regular capacitor replacement intervals per APC's preventive maintenance schedule — is the correct approach to maximizing UPS service life. If you are evaluating a broader UPS replacement parts strategy, this assembly should be stocked as a critical spare for any site running the host platform at high utilization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What UPS systems is the 0J-0M-34002516AC compatible with?
A: Compatibility is determined by the APC host UPS platform that explicitly lists part number 0J-0M-34002516AC in its service parts documentation. Do not install this assembly without confirming the host system's parts list calls for this specific part number.
Q: What is the output rating of the 0J-0M-34002516AC?
A: The assembly is rated for 80KVA AC output, matching the full output capacity of its intended host UPS platform.
Q: Is the 0J-0M-34002516AC a new or refurbished part?
A: This is a factory-new component sourced from APC by Schneider Electric manufacturing. It is not refurbished or third-party.
Q: How much does the 0J-0M-34002516AC weigh?
A: Approximately 4 lb, making it manageable for a single technician during an on-site service call.
Q: Where is the 0J-0M-34002516AC manufactured?
A: Country of origin is China, per manufacturer records.
The 0J-0M-34002516AC is a factory-correct service assembly for APC large UPS platforms — the 80KVA output rating is the critical specification here. When a host system is running at or near full 80KVA load, the capacitor bank is under maximum stress, and substituting a generic or under-rated part creates a failure point that defeats the entire purpose of the redundant power architecture you built around that UPS.
Technical Highlights:
- 80KVA Output Capacity: Sized to the full inverter output stage of the host platform — not a partial or derated assembly. This matters when the UPS is carrying a full critical load without headroom to absorb a weak component.
- Factory-New Assembly: Genuine manufacturer part, not a refurbished substitute. For power infrastructure protecting live data center or facility loads, the provenance of internal service assemblies is not a detail to compromise on.
- 4 lb Service Weight: Light enough for a single-tech swap during a planned maintenance window, which reduces the scheduling complexity of critical power servicing at remote or access-controlled sites.
Deployment Considerations:
- Always verify the host UPS parts list explicitly calls for 0J-0M-34002516AC before ordering — APC large UPS families can share physical form factors while requiring different capacitor ratings per platform variant.
- At 4 lb this is a field-portable spare, but treat it as a controlled inventory item: capacitor assemblies have a storage life and should not be held indefinitely as bench spares without tracking manufacture date.
This assembly is the right stock item for facilities teams managing APC large UPS platforms at data centers or critical facilities where an unplanned capacitor failure during a utility event would mean the difference between a clean ride-through and a hard transfer to generator — order it as a stocked critical spare before you need it, not after.
