Schneider Electric Variable Speed Drive, 315 kW, 3 Phase, Altivar Series 480 V 173 A

This Altivar Process ATV900 variable speed drive can feed 3-phase synchronous and asynchronous power motors. It is suitable for motors with power rating up to 90kW/125HP for applications requiring slight overload (up to 120%). It is suitable for motors with power rating up to 75kW/100HP for applications requiring significant overload (up to 150%). It works at a rated supply voltage from 380Vac to 480Vac. This variable speed / frequency drive (VSD / VFD) is specifically designed for industrial processes. In the following market segments, oil and gas, mining, minerals and metals, food and beverage water and wastewater. It offers high motor performance on any motor and total control of any kind of coupling in master/slave applications. Network services help ensure operation continuity even in case of connection breakdown. Web server and data logging help reduce downtime through fast troubleshooting and preventive maintenance. Its advanced connectivity, including EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP, allows deep integration into automation architectures.

• IP21 rating means it's touch-proof and protected from objects bigger than 12mm

• Industrial plant

As well as offering you more precise control of your equipment, a variable speed drive can help you run processes more efficiently, cut noise emissions and meet environmental goals.

A rectifier inside the variable speed drive converts incoming AC power to DC power, which is fed to capacitors to smooth out the electrical waveform. The clean supply is then fed to an inverter that converts it back into output AC power with the frequency and voltage adjusted to your needs.
