That puts it squarely in the medium-voltage drive class for large synchronous and asynchronous motors — think mainline conveyors, mine hoists, large pumps, and compressors where the motor nameplate sits north of 1 MW. The 30-pulse diode rectifier input means the drive draws line current at 200 A with a harmonic profile that typically meets IEEE 519 without additional filtering — a real advantage when the plant's power-quality engineer is watching the THD at the PCC. ## Supply voltage and input topology — the medium-voltage reality Supply voltage limits are 2970 to 3630 V — this is a 3.3 kV-class drive, not a 4160 V or 6.6 kV unit. The output voltage is <= the supply voltage, so the motor winding insulation and the transformer taps need to match the incoming bus, not the other way around. The prospective line short-circuit current is 31.5 kA for 150 ms. That number governs the upstream breaker or fuse coordination — the drive's input section is designed to ride through that fault level without catastrophic failure, but the protection devices upstream need to be set to clear within that window. ## Physical footprint and enclosure — plan the floor space now This drive ships as a floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows for power and control sections. The standard-efficiency variant measures 4360 mm wide by 1500 mm deep; the high-efficiency version is 4660 mm wide by 1600 mm deep. Both stand 2670 mm tall. That is a substantial footprint — plan for a dedicated drive room with overhead crane access for the transformer and cell replacement. Cooling airflow is 19800 m³/h for standard efficiency, 23100 m³/h for high efficiency. The noise level at full load is 80 dB — hearing protection zones and acoustic treatment need to be in the room layout from the start. ## Overload capability and duty cycle The overload profiles are defined for both standard and high overload applications: 1.2× In for 60 s or 1.5× In for 3 s under standard overload; 1.5× In for 60 s or 1.85× In for 3 s under high overload. That means the drive can handle a 185 % current spike for three seconds — enough to break a stuck conveyor or clear a jam without tripping, but the duty cycle needs to respect the thermal recovery time between events. ## Compliance and standards — what the CE mark covers The drive carries CE marking and is designed to EN/IEC 60204-11 (safety of machinery), EN/IEC 60529 (ingress protection), EN/IEC 61800-3 (EMC for adjustable-speed drives), EN/IEC 61800-4 (drive system requirements), and EN/IEC 61800-5-1 (electrical, thermal, and energy safety). Pollution degree 2 per EN/IEC 61800-5-1 means it is intended for a clean, climate-controlled electrical room — not a dusty mill floor. Dielectric strength is 20 kV AC between earth and power terminals. That is the withstand voltage for the insulation system — relevant for the commissioning hipot test and for verifying that the isolation between the medium-voltage power section and the control electronics is intact. ## Sourcing and lifecycle — active production, quoted to order The product composition includes the phase-shifting transformer, 15 power cells, cooling fans, HMI, and medium-voltage arrestors — it arrives as a complete drive system, not a bare chassis that needs a separate line-up of components.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric ATV1200A16105555 Altivar 1200, 1346 kW","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV1200A16105555 Altivar 1200 medium-voltage drive. 1346 kW motor power, 1610 kVA apparent power, 30-pulse input, CE marked.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["AC Drive (VFD) 480V"],"specifications":{"Depth":"1600 mm (high efficiency) 1500 mm (standard efficiency)","Width":"4360 mm (standard efficiency) 4660 mm (high efficiency)","title":"ATV1200A16105555","Height":"2670 mm high efficiency 2670 mm standard efficiency","Supply":"External supply for control at 220 V AC, 3 kVA Internal supply for cooling fan at 380 V AC External supply for control at 220 V AC/DC (optional) External supply for cooling fan at 380 V AC (optional)","Marking":"CE","Isolation":"Electrical between power and control","Standards":"EN/IEC 60204-11 EN/IEC 60529 EN/IEC 61800-3 EN/IEC 61800-4 EN/IEC 61800-5-1","EMC filter":"Integrated","Input type":"30 pulse diode rectifier bridge","Noise level":"80 dB","Speed range":"20...100","description":"medium voltage variable speed drive ATV1200 -
