Schneider Electric ATV212HU40M3X Variable Speed Drive

The Schneider Electric ATV212HU40M3X is a high-efficiency, reliable variable speed drive (VSD) from the Altivar 212 series. Designed specifically for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) applications, it offers precise motor control, making it an essential component for optimizing energy usage in buildings and industrial environments. With its compact design and user-friendly interface, this drive is an ideal solution for improving system performance while reducing energy consumption.

Power and Performance

The ATV212HU40M3X is a 4kW (5 HP) drive, offering robust motor control for medium-power applications. Operating on a 240V 3-phase power supply ensures consistent and stable performance in various HVAC systems, such as fans, pumps, and air-handling units. The drive operates without an EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) filter, which is ideal for specific installations where EMC mitigation is not required or handled elsewhere in the system. The drive's design enables efficient and smooth motor control, helping to extend the life of the equipment by reducing mechanical wear through optimized speed control.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

A key advantage of the Schneider Electric ATV212HU40M3X is its ability to reduce energy consumption in HVAC systems. Variable motor speed based on demand prevents unnecessary energy usage during periods of lower load, resulting in significant cost savings over time. The variable speed capability means motors only operate at the speed required for a particular task, reducing the overall power draw and enhancing system efficiency. This makes the drive an ideal solution for building managers or industrial operations looking to achieve better energy management.

IP21 Protection and Durability

The ATV212HU40M3X is designed with an IP21 rating, meaning it offers a good level of protection against dust and condensation. This makes it suitable for use in indoor environments where exposure to minor water drips or condensation could occur, such as HVAC systems installed in buildings or industrial spaces. Its durable design ensures long-term reliability, even in challenging environments. The drive can operate in ambient temperatures typically found in HVAC rooms or control centers, contributing to its extended lifespan and reduced need for maintenance.

Easy Installation and Use

Thanks to its compact form factor and simplified mounting options, the ATV212HU40M3X is straightforward to install. With intuitive controls and user-friendly configuration, it is easy to set up and program according to the system's specific needs. The drive includes built-in motor protection features, including overload and thermal protection, to ensure safe and reliable operation. These features make it accessible to operators who may not have extensive technical experience, allowing for seamless integration into existing HVAC systems.

Applications

The Schneider Electric ATV212HU40M3X is designed for HVAC applications, making it an ideal solution for controlling motors in systems such as fans, pumps, and air-handling units. Its ability to adapt motor speed based on demand makes it particularly effective when energy efficiency is a priority. Common settings include commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities, where HVAC systems are critical for maintaining optimal indoor conditions.
