The Altivar ATV12 Series is made up from Variable Speed Drives for small machines with a three-phase 240 V 0. 18 to 4 kW asynchronous motors. This type of VFD has a low voltage, high performance and excellent power. The Altivar 12 features plug and play installation, integrated functions and alternative base plate versions which enables them to be suitable for applications involving simple machinery.

• Drive thermal detection is provided by a build-in PTC probe in the power module.
• The ATV12 is compatible with the ATV11, but there are some differences that exist between both drives.
• Variable speed asynchronous motor drive.
• Increased productivity due to their advanced, intelligent functions.
• Easy communication to other machine components because of the integrated universal Modbus serial link.
• Offers a high quality drive for the factory setting, from the very first time you power up.
• When breaking or acceleration there is a high dynamic performance.
• Features excellent speed regulations on machine load surges.
• Created and designed to give easy instillation and wiring.
• Super-fast detection and protection against motor current peaks.
• Featuring a three level menu structure – Reference, monitoring and configuration modes.
• There is a Bluetooth option for downloading or accessing settings with a PC or mobile phone.
• Discreet in size but big and powerful on performance.

• This series can be used for mechanical and electrical instillations, please refer to the user manual for more information.
• Material handling – small conveyors
• Packaging – small labelling machines, small bagging machines
• Pumping applications – suction pumps, centrifugal pumps and circulating pumps
• Machinery that has machines fitted with fans - Air or smoke extraction, plastic film making machines, ovens and boilers.
• Simple consumer machines such as handling access barriers, rotating advertising hoardings.
• The health industry such as medical beds and running machines.
• They can also be found in the food and drink industry being used in machine such as mills, kneading machines and mixers.

The Altivar 12 does not need any preventative maintenance, although we do advise that you perform a few regular checks to ensure optimum delivery.

Slip your asynchronous motor into cruise control with this three-phase inverter drive from Schneider Electric. It allows you to control speed and torque with a high degree of precision so your equipment can respond to the changing acceleration and deceleration needs of your industrial processes. Thanks to the integrated Modbus serial link, this device can communicate with other machine components as part of an intelligent and adaptable system. A built-in PTC probe keeps an eye on the temperature to help avoid issues caused by overheating. With high dynamic performance on braking and accelerating, this nifty piece of kit delivers smooth operation, even when changing settings.

• Bluetooth capability lets you access controls via your PC or smartphone
• Touch-proof IP20 rating means you won't get a shock if you touch the housing while the drive is running
• Compact dimensions of 143 (L) x 72 (W) x 132mm (D) fit comfortably, even where space is tight

• Conveyor belts
• Small labelling machines
• Medical technology

On average, you can expect an impressive 10-year lifespan from this hard-working gadget.
