Schneider Electric ATV12HU40M3

The variable speed drive, Altivar 12, is engineered to support 3-phase asynchronous motors in supply line configurations, operating at a rated power of 4kW (5hp) within a voltage range of 200V to 240V AC. This model incorporates a heat sink for optimal operation in standard environments and features a fan-cooled enclosure.

One of the notable functionalities is its transient overtorque capability, allowing the drive to provide extra torque to unjam machinery, thereby minimizing downtime and reducing maintenance costs. It also includes underload and overload detection mechanisms that enhance system protection.

Standard integration of the Modbus communication protocol facilitates seamless connectivity via an RJ45 connector located on the underside of the unit. This drive is suitable for various applications in simple industrial and commercial machines, such as conveyors, pumps, extractors, access barriers, and treadmills.

The Altivar 12 drive is compatible with SoMove software, which allows users to save and transfer configurations to replacement drives, further reducing maintenance downtime. Additionally, the device is optimized for power and torque applications in ventilation and pumping systems, enabling energy savings of up to 30%.
