Schneider Altivar Drives

VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE SELECTION

Select Schneider Altivar Drives by Motor, Supply and Application

Match the complete Altivar part number—not only the kW rating. Confirm the drive family, input supply, motor nameplate current, duty profile, enclosure, communication and required options before ordering.

Altivar Family Selection Guide

Altivar 12
Compact drives for simple machines and commercial equipment. Verify supply, motor current and built-in I/O.
Altivar Machine ATV320
Machine drive family for synchronous and asynchronous motors, typically 0.18–22 kW. Check form factor, communication and safety options.
Altivar Machine ATV340
High-performance machine drives for demanding speed and torque control. Confirm motor type, feedback and dynamic duty.
Altivar Process ATV600
Process drives aimed at fluid-management loads such as pumps, fans and compressors. Review bypass, harmonics and process communication.
Altivar Process ATV900
For demanding process and constant-torque applications such as conveyors, cranes and mills. Check overload, braking and motor-control requirements.

Featured Altivar Drive

Schneider Electric ATV312HU22N4 Variable Speed Drive

Use the full ordering code when requesting this model. For an ATV31/ATV312 replacement, send the motor nameplate, supply, programmed I/O, option-card and network details so compatibility can be reviewed.

Six Checks Before Ordering

  1. Motor: type, kW/HP, current, voltage, base frequency and speed.
  2. Supply: input voltage, phase, frequency and short-circuit environment.
  3. Duty: variable/constant torque, overload, acceleration and braking.
  4. Installation: ambient temperature, altitude, enclosure and cooling.
  5. Control: I/O, encoder, keypad, STO/safety and fieldbus.
  6. Compliance: EMC, harmonic mitigation and local approvals.

Replacement Is Not Only a Power Match

A suggested successor may require changes to mounting dimensions, terminals, control wiring, parameter files, option cards, communication mapping or safety validation.

Before commissioning, back up parameters where possible, compare the I/O and network configuration, run motor identification/tuning as required, and validate the machine safety function.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I select a drive using motor kW only?
No. Motor rated current, supply voltage, duty, overload, enclosure and control requirements must also be checked.
2. Is a newer Altivar a direct replacement?
Not automatically. Dimensions, terminals, options, parameters, fieldbus data and safety functions can differ.
3. What information is needed for an ATV31/ATV312 replacement?
Send the complete old model, nameplate, motor data, option cards, wiring and parameter backup if available.
4. Should I choose normal duty or heavy duty?
It depends on the load torque and overload profile. Conveyors, hoists and high-inertia loads often need closer heavy-duty review.
5. Can you check communication compatibility?
Yes. Include the existing protocol, option-card part number, controller and required process data.

FINAL ORDERING CHECK

Before Ordering a Schneider Altivar Drive

Confirm the complete drive code together with the motor, load and installed control system. This prevents a visually similar unit from being selected with the wrong voltage, current rating, enclosure or communication option.

Drive Nameplate
Full part number, series, input voltage, output current, power rating and hardware revision.
Motor & Load
Motor kW/HP, rated current, speed, duty, overload, braking and acceleration requirements.
Control & Network
I/O assignment, keypad, encoder, STO/safety functions, fieldbus and option-card numbers.
Installation
Enclosure/IP rating, dimensions, cooling, ambient temperature, EMC and harmonic requirements.

Compatibility and Replacement Notice

A newer Altivar family is not automatically a drop-in replacement. Mounting, terminals, control wiring, parameters, option cards, communication mapping and machine-safety validation may need changes. Send photos of the existing nameplate and connections when requesting a replacement.

Need an Altivar Quotation?
Send the complete part number, quantity, required condition, destination and a nameplate photo for compatibility review.

Technical specifications and replacement requirements must be confirmed against manufacturer documentation for the exact model and installed system release.
