Schneider Electric ATV21HD37N4

Schneider Electric ATV21HD37N4 

The ATV21HD37N4 is a versatile variable speed drive (VSD) designed to efficiently control asynchronous motors, specifically for applications involving pumps and fans in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. With a power range of 37 kW (50 HP) and a power supply voltage of 380-480V, this drive is well-suited for a wide range of industrial and commercial settings.

Features

The ATV21HD37N4 is part of the Altivar 21 range of products and offers several features tailored to optimize motor control and energy efficiency. The drive supports a speed range of 1 to 10, allowing precise control over motor speed for various operational requirements. It employs a quadratic voltage/frequency ratio control profile and offers constant voltage/frequency ratios with automatic IR compensation, ensuring efficient and accurate control over motor operation.

The drive incorporates an EMC filter of Class A, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility and minimizing electromagnetic interference in sensitive environments. It adheres to protection standards with an IP20 degree of protection, guarding against solid object ingress, and offering robust protection for industrial settings.

Communication

For communication and control, the drive includes various communication port options such as Modbus, allowing seamless integration into automation systems. It also offers multiple options for communication cards like APOGEE FLN, BACnet, LonWorks, and METASYS N2, further enhancing its connectivity and interoperability.

Control and Energy Efficiency

Efficient energy usage is a key focus of the ATV21HD37N4. It employs energy-saving features such as Current Flux Vector Control (FVC) without speed feedback, which helps optimize energy consumption while maintaining motor performance. The drive's speed accuracy of +/- 10% of nominal slip and torque accuracy of +/- 15% contribute to its ability to deliver precise control and energy efficiency.

Safety

The ATV21HD37N4 prioritizes safety and protection. It offers comprehensive protection mechanisms, including measures against input phase loss, line supply overvoltage and undervoltage, overcurrent between output phases and earth, overheating, overvoltages on the DC bus, short circuits between motor phases, and more. These safeguards ensure both equipment and personnel safety during operation.

Installation

Installation and maintenance are made convenient with various features. The drive's display unit allows monitoring and configuration of operational parameters, and the device offers multiple analog and discrete inputs and outputs, making it adaptable to different control systems and sensors.

Physically, the drive is designed for easy integration into industrial setups. Its compact dimensions (21.65 in x 9.45 in x 4.45 in) allow it to fit into tight spaces, and it can be positioned with a vertical tolerance of +/- 10 degrees.

Operation

Environmental considerations are also a focus. The drive's vibration and shock resistance, as well as its resistance to varying humidity and temperature levels, make it suitable for challenging operating conditions. It conforms to international standards and certifications, including UL, CSA, and C-tick.

In conclusion, the ATV21HD37N4 is a robust and efficient variable-speed drive catering to the specific needs of asynchronous motor control in HVAC applications. With its precise control, energy-saving features, comprehensive protection mechanisms, and adherence to industry standards, it is a reliable choice for optimizing motor performance while ensuring operational safety and longevity. Its compact design, communication capabilities, and environmental resilience further enhance its suitability for a wide range of industrial and commercial settings.
