Altivar ATV12 Series


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.

Features & Benefits


• 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.

Where can I use my Inverter Drive?


• 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.

How to look after ATV12 Series VFD


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

• The condition and tightness of any of the connections.
• Make sure that the temperature around the unit remains at an acceptable level and that ventilation is effective. The average service life of the fans is an impressive ten years.
• Make sure that if any dust is apparent, it is removed.
• Keep a look out that the fans are always in proper operation and that there is no physical damage to the covers.

Not suitable for a 400 V 3 phase input.


Schneider Electric Inverter Drive, IP20 Rating, 50dB Noise Level - ALTIVAR 12 Series - ATV12HU40M3


Take charge of the speed and torque of your industrial motor with this inverter drive from Schneider Electric. It's a 3-phase device that controls variable-speed asynchronous motors like air compressors and water pumps. This component comes with a heatsink, which stops it from overheating to ensure reliable operation. Thanks to an RJ45 connector positioned at the drive's base, you can easily integrate it with PLCs and HMIs. As it has a low noise level of 50dB, it operates quietly to boost safety and comfort at work.

Features & Benefits


• Compatible with SoMove software for smooth transfer of data to a spare drive, reducing downtime
• Protected against short circuits and overcurrent for enhanced safety
• Adjustable PID regulator controls machine processes with precision
• IP20 rating means it's touch-proof and shielded from objects larger than 12mm
• Bluetooth compatibility makes it easy to access settings with a laptop or smartphone

Applications


• Packaging machinery
• HVAC systems
• Industrial fans and blowers

What size is this component?


This drive measures 184 (H) x 140 (W) x 141.2mm (D), so it's a space-efficient choice to install in tight setups.
