Product Introduction
The Schneider Electric ATV212HD45N4 is a high-power variable speed drive designed to control three-phase asynchronous motors in energy-efficient fluid management systems. As part of the Altivar 212 series, it is optimized for HVAC and pumping applications in commercial and tertiary sector buildings, where variable torque control and energy savings are essential.
Operating on a rated supply voltage of 380–480 V AC, the ATV212HD45N4 supports motors up to 45 kW (60 hp). It features an IP21 enclosure, an integrated EMC filter, and advanced harmonic mitigation technology, allowing smooth and disturbance-free operation without the need for external line chokes or DC chokes.
With built-in communication protocols commonly used in building management systems, the ATV212HD45N4 can be easily integrated into centralized automation architectures while maintaining compliance with international safety, EMC, and environmental standards.
