The 720 kVA apparent power figure tells you the transformer and upstream gear need to support that full kVA, not just the motor kW. Supply voltage limits are 2970-3630 V, which puts this squarely in medium-voltage drive territory — not your 480 V VFD. The 24-pulse diode rectifier input drastically reduces line harmonics compared to a 6- or 12-pulse front end, which matters for utility compliance and transformer heating on weak grids. Overload capability is specified as 1.2 In for 60 s (standard overload) and 1.5 In for 3 s, with a high-overload profile at 1.5 In for 60 s and 1.85 In for 3 s. That high-overload window covers crusher starts or extruder breakaway torque without oversizing the drive. ## Floor-standing cabinet — dimensions and cooling reality This drive ships in a floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows for power and control sections. Standard-efficiency dimensions are 2520 mm high x 2660 mm wide x 1400 mm deep; the high-efficiency variant grows to 2670 mm high x 3260 mm wide x 1500 mm deep. Cooling is forced convection, moving 9900 m³/h (standard) or 16500 m³/h (high efficiency) of air. That volume dictates the room ventilation — don't tuck this into a closet without ducting. Noise level is 80 dB, so ear protection is mandatory near the cabinet during operation. Operating position is vertical ±10 degrees. Altitude derating starts at 1000 m: 0.6 % per 100 m above that. At 2000 m, you lose 6 % of the rated current — plan the motor match accordingly. ## Compliance and construction — what the nameplate carries CE marked. Complies with EN/IEC 60204-11, EN/IEC 60529, EN/IEC 61800-3 (EMC), EN/IEC 61800-4, and EN/IEC 61800-5-1 (safety). Pollution degree 2 per 61800-5-1. Dielectric strength is 20 kV AC between earth and power terminals. The drive composition includes 12 power cells, a phase-shifting transformer, medium-voltage arrestors, cooling fans, and an HMI — it's a complete medium-voltage drive system in one enclosure, not a bare inverter section. Prospective line short-circuit current rating is 31.5 kA for 150 ms — that's the fault-withstand capability the cabinet and buswork are designed for. Ground fault protection is integrated on the drive side.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric ATV1200A7204242 AC Drive, 602 kW, 720 kVA","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV1200A7204242 Altivar 1200 AC drive. 602 kW, 720 kVA, 24-pulse input, 2970-3630 V supply.
