The unit is available immediately through MRO Electric and Supply and comes with free shipping and a 2-year warranty.

Electrical Capabilities and Motor Compatibility

This drive is engineered for a three-phase power input ranging from 380 to 500 VAC and supports an output frequency of 0 to 599 Hz. It is optimized to deliver smooth, responsive control for constant and variable torque applications. The 0.55 kW output enables it to handle motors in lower horsepower categories efficiently, making it perfect for machines where precision control is more critical than brute force. With features like voltage/frequency ratio (V/f) control and sensorless flux vector control, the ATV32H055N4 can adapt to various motor types and load conditions, offering enhanced performance across various industrial environments.

Compact Design and Installation Flexibility

The ATV32H055N4 is designed with space efficiency in mind. Its compact book-style form factor allows for easy installation inside crowded control cabinets. This model includes an integrated heat sink, effectively dissipating heat during continuous operation and maintaining optimal performance without needing external cooling in most scenarios. The drive supports wall and DIN rail mounting, giving engineers flexibility in system design and installation. Front-access terminals and intuitive programming further simplify setup and reduce commissioning time.

Communication and Control Features

To meet the needs of modern automation networks, the ATV32H055N4 includes built-in support for Modbus RTU and CANopen communication protocols. These interfaces allow the drive to be easily integrated into PLC-controlled systems or broader industrial networks. Users can install optional communication cards to support protocols such as EtherNet/IP, Profibus DP, PROFINET, and DeviceNet for enhanced communication options. The drive also features advanced control modes, including PID control, logic inputs, and safe torque off (STO) functionality for safe machine operation.

Durability and Safety Compliance

Built to handle industrial operating conditions, the ATV32H055N4 has protective features, including overcurrent, overvoltage, Undervoltage, ground fault, and overheating protection. It supports Safe Torque Off (STO) as a standard safety function, helping reduce risk during maintenance and emergency stops. With an IP20 protection rating, it is suitable for installation in protective enclosures within control panels. The drive also meets international standards such as CE, UL, and RoHS, ensuring compatibility and compliance across global markets.
