Schneider Electric ATV312HD11S6

Schneider Electric ATV312HD11S6 Variable Speed Drive

Overview

The Schneider Electric ATV312HD11S6 is a powerful variable speed drive (VSD) designed for asynchronous motors in industrial applications. As part of the Altivar 312 series, it provides precise motor control, high energy efficiency, and robust protection features. Operating on a three-phase 525V-600V supply, this drive has a power rating of 11 kW (15 HP) and an apparent power of 25 kVA, making it ideal for medium to high-power applications.

Performance and Control Features

The ATV312HD11S6 offers sensorless flux vector control with PWM motor control signals, ensuring accurate speed and torque management. A speed range of 1-50 enables smooth acceleration and deceleration. Its nominal switching frequency is 4 kHz, which can be adjusted between 2 kHz and 16 kHz for improved efficiency and noise reduction. The drive also features automatic motor slip compensation, allowing it to maintain steady operation under varying loads.

Advanced Communication Capabilities

This Altivar 312 VSD has built-in Modbus and CANopen communication ports, facilitating seamless integration into industrial automation systems. The RJ45 Modbus/CANopen interface supports communication speeds of up to 1 Mbps (CANopen) and 19,200 bps (Modbus). Additionally, optional communication cards for Profibus DP, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP, and Fipio allow excellent connectivity and flexibility.

Protection and Safety Features

Designed for reliability and durability, the ATV312HD11S6 includes multiple protection mechanisms:

• Input phase break detection
• Overvoltage and undervoltage safety circuits
• Motor phase break detection
• Short-circuit and overcurrent protection
• Thermal protection for motor and drive

With braking torque up to 150% with a braking resistor and 100% continuous braking, this drive ensures safe and efficient stopping mechanisms, making it suitable for applications requiring frequent starts and stops.

Energy Efficiency and Optimized Performance

This variable-speed drive is designed to minimize energy consumption while delivering high performance. It features an adjustable PI frequency regulator, optimizing motor operation in different load conditions. The drive can handle transient over-torque between 170% and 200% of the nominal motor torque, ensuring stable operation even in demanding applications.

Compact and Easy Installation

The ATV312HD11S6 is designed for easy integration into control panels, with a compact footprint:

• Height: 13.0 in (329.5 mm)
• Width: 9.6 in (245 mm)
• Depth: 7.6 in (192 mm)
• Weight: 22.05 lbs (10 kg)

It is designed for vertical mounting and features an efficient heat sink for effective thermal management.
