Schneider Electric ATV61HU30N4

ATV61HU30N4 Variable Speed Drive

The Schneider Electric ATV61HU30N4 is a high-performance variable-speed AC drive explicitly designed to optimize the operation of pumping and ventilation machines. As a member of the Altivar 61 product range, this drive delivers advanced functionality and energy efficiency tailored to meet the demands of HVAC and industrial fluid movement applications. With a motor power rating of 3 kW and a three-phase voltage supply range of 380 to 480 volts (with a tolerance of -15% to +10%), it provides versatile operation in a broad spectrum of environments. The ATV61HU30N4 offers a line current of 9 A at 480 V and has an apparent power rating of 7 kVA at 380 V, indicating robust performance for medium-sized motor applications.

Thermal Management and Performance Capabilities

The drive includes a factory-integrated Class C2 EMC filter, ensuring compliance with electromagnetic compatibility standards. It is assembled with a heat sink, enhancing thermal management and promoting operational longevity. Its nominal switching frequency is 12 kHz, while the adjustable range spans from 1 to 16 kHz, offering flexibility to reduce noise and harmonics or to adapt to specific motor control needs. For transient conditions, the drive can handle a current of 9.3 A for up to 60 seconds, ensuring reliability during load spikes.

Advanced Motor Control Features

The ATV61HU30N4 supports control strategies such as voltage/frequency (V/f) ratio control—optimized for energy savings and suited for quadratic torque loads—and sensorless vector control, which provides precise motor regulation without the need for an external sensor. This dual compatibility makes it suitable for various asynchronous and synchronous motor applications.

Comprehensive Communication and Integration Options

Connectivity and communication are standout features of the ATV61HU30N4. It comes standard with Modbus and CANopen communication protocols, and it supports a wide array of optional communication cards, including BACnet, CC-Link, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Fipio, Interbus-S, LonWorks, METASYS N2, Modbus Plus, Modbus TCP, Modbus/Uni-Telway, and Profibus DP/DP V1. This extensive support makes the drive ideal for integrating complex building automation systems and industrial networks. Additional options such as multi-pump cards and I/O extension cards enhance functionality, enabling expanded control schemes and feedback options.

Robust Design and Warranty Coverage

The drive includes an internal programmable controller card, adding another control layer and customization. The device is rated for a maximum prospective line short-circuit current (Isc) of 5 kA, underscoring its robust design. Its type of polarization includes no impedance for Modbus, which enhances signal reliability in specific configurations. The product is backed by a two-year MRO Electric and Supply warranty, providing end users peace of mind and support.
