Schneider Electric ATV31HU40M3X

Schneider Electric ATV31HU40M3X Variable Speed Drive Overview

The Schneider Electric ATV31HU40M3X is a reliable and robust variable-speed drive for simple machine applications. As part of the renowned Altivar range, this drive provides strong performance, energy efficiency, and precise motor control for industrial environments. It is specifically built to manage asynchronous motors, making it ideal for many applications requiring basic yet dependable motor speed control. This model operates on a 3-phase supply and is optimized for 200–240 V voltages with a supply frequency of 50/60 Hz. Manufactured with a focus on reliability and functionality, the ATV31HU40M3X continues to be a trusted choice for industrial users even though it lacks an integrated EMC filter.

Technical Specifications and Performance

The Schneider ATV31HU40M3X supports a motor power rating of 4 kW (approximately 5 HP) at 4 kHz and can deliver an output current of up to 17.5 A at the same frequency. It features a wide supply voltage limit range from 170 to 264 V, ensuring consistent operation even with minor supply fluctuations. The unit offers a transient over-torque capacity of 150–170% nominal motor torque, enabling quick and powerful motor startups and dynamic load handling. The output frequency range spans 0.0005 Hz to 0.5 kHz, allowing exact motor control. Additionally, the drive is engineered with a heat sink assembly for effective cooling during continuous operation.

Control and Interface Features

Equipped with three analog inputs, two analog outputs, six discrete inputs, and two discrete outputs, the ATV31HU40M3X provides excellent flexibility for integrating with various industrial control systems. This generous selection of I/O options makes it easier to adapt the drive for specific tasks in manufacturing, automation, or material handling. Communication with external devices and controllers is straightforward, ensuring seamless integration into existing setups. The drive also includes explicit local signaling with CE marking compliance, confirming its quality and safety for industrial use.

Energy Efficiency and Design

With a power dissipation of 180 W at nominal load, the Schneider ATV31HU40M3X is designed to maintain energy efficiency without sacrificing performance. The absence of an EMC filter makes it more cost-effective for applications where EMC compliance is either externally managed or not required. It features a simple, compact design and fits into various control cabinets without consuming excessive space. The unit's durable build and effective heat sink allow it to operate reliably under challenging industrial conditions.
