ATV312HU15M3 Variable Speed Drive

The ATV312HU15M3 is a versatile variable speed drive designed to provide efficient and reliable control over asynchronous motors, catering to a range of applications, particularly in simple machines. With its advanced features and precise control capabilities, the ATV312HU15M3 is an essential component in industrial settings where motor control plays a crucial role.

Design

At its core, the ATV312HU15M3 boasts a compact design and is equipped with a heat sink assembly style, ensuring optimal heat dissipation for prolonged operation. With a motor power of 1.5 kW (equivalent to 2 horsepower), this drive offers consistent performance and control. It operates with a rated supply voltage of 200 to 240 V in a 3-phase configuration and has a supply frequency range of 50 to 60 Hz.

Features

One of the standout features of the ATV312HU15M3 is its wide speed range, allowing for precise control over motor operation from 1 to 50 Hz. The drive offers various control profiles, with the factory set profile being constant torque. Additionally, the drive employs sensorless flux vector control with a PWM-type motor control signal, ensuring accurate and efficient motor control.

The electrical connections for the drive are facilitated through a variety of terminals, including Al1, Al2, Al3, AOV, AOC, R1A, R1B, R1C, R2A, R2B, LI1 to LI6 terminals, as well as L1, L2, L3, U, V, W, PA, PB, PA+, PC- terminals. These terminals are designed to accommodate different connection needs, with appropriate wire sizes (AWG 14 or 2.5 mm²) specified.

The drive also features internal supply options for logic inputs and reference potentiometers, ensuring smooth operation and protection against overload and short-circuit conditions. Communication is a key aspect of the ATV312HU15M3, supporting protocols such as Modbus and CANopen, allowing for seamless integration into automation systems.

Protection

The ATV312HU15M3 offers comprehensive protection mechanisms to safeguard both the drive and the connected motor. It incorporates safety circuits to handle input phase breaks, line supply overvoltage and undervoltage, motor phase breaks, overcurrent, overheating, and short-circuit conditions. This ensures the longevity of the drive and prevents potential damage due to external factors.

Interface

In terms of user interface, the drive features LED indicators that provide status information about the drive's voltage and communication via the CANopen bus. The drive settings can be adjusted through a 7-segment display unit, making configuration and monitoring straightforward.

Construction

The physical dimensions of the ATV312HU15M3 are compact, with measurements of 143 x 105 x 130 mm (height x width x depth). The drive's construction adheres to protective standards, boasting an IP20 degree of protection on the upper part without a cover plate and IP21, IP31, and IP41 degrees on different sections. This ensures protection against dust and moisture, vital in industrial environments.

Operation 

The ATV312HU15M3 is built to withstand harsh conditions, with certifications from organizations like DNV, NOM, CSA, GOST, UL, and C-tick. It has been designed and tested to endure vibrations, shocks, and varying ambient air temperatures, making it suitable for a wide range of operating environments.

In conclusion, the ATV312HU15M3 is a sophisticated and reliable variable-speed drive that excels in providing efficient control over asynchronous motors in simple machine applications. Its comprehensive features, precise motor control capabilities, and robust design make it an essential component in modern industrial setups, contributing to increased efficiency, energy savings, and prolonged equipment life.
