Its 24-pulse diode rectifier bridge input reduces line-side harmonics below IEEE 519 thresholds without an external filter — a key advantage for installations with weak grid connections or strict power-quality requirements. The drive delivers 940 kVA apparent power and draws 150 A line current at full load. Overload capability is configurable: 1.2× rated current for 60 seconds (standard duty) or 1.5× for 60 seconds (high overload), with a short-term peak of 1.85× for 3 seconds — enough to handle crusher or centrifuge starting torque without oversizing the drive. ## Physical footprint and cooling demands The drive ships in a floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows for power and control sections. Standard-efficiency models measure 3060 mm wide × 1400 mm deep × 2520 mm high; high-efficiency variants are wider (3660 mm) and taller (2670 mm). The enclosure colour is grey RAL 7032. Forced convection cooling moves 13,200 m³/h (standard) or 19,800 m³/h (high efficiency) of air. The cooling fan requires its own 380 V AC supply — either internal or optional external. Noise level at full fan speed is 80 dB, so ear protection is advisable during commissioning in an enclosed room. ## Compliance and isolation architecture The ATV1200A9404242 carries CE marking and complies with EN/IEC 61800-3 (EMC), EN/IEC 61800-4 (harmonic), and EN/IEC 61800-5-1 (safety). Dielectric strength between earth and power terminals is 20 kV AC. Pollution degree 2 per EN/IEC 61800-5-1, overvoltage category II — suitable for clean indoor industrial environments. Electrical isolation between power and control circuits means the 24 V DC control supply (220 V AC, 3 kVA external) can be referenced to a separate ground from the medium-voltage power section — a practical advantage when integrating with PLCs on a different earthing system. ## I/O complement and connection The drive includes 4 software-configurable analogue inputs (0–20 mA / 4–20 mA, 250 Ω impedance) and 2 analogue outputs of the same type. Digital inputs: 6 standard, expandable to 10 with an optional card. The line-side power connection uses M10 bar-type screw terminals accepting up to 6 × 40 mm² cable per phase, entry from bottom or top. Prospective line short-circuit current withstand is 31.5 kA for 150 ms — coordinate the upstream breaker to clear within this window to avoid drive damage. Ground fault protection is built into the drive itself, not reliant on external relays. ## Environmental limits and derating Operating altitude from 1000 m to 2000 m requires current derating of 0.6 % per 100 m above 1000 m. Relative humidity range is 0–90 % (0–95 % optional). Operating position is vertical ±10 degrees. Vibration resistance is 4.9 m/s² at 10–50 Hz — adequate for standard floor-mounted installations but not for direct mounting on vibrating machinery. The drive is designed for both synchronous and asynchronous motors, with a speed range of 20–100 % of base speed. Output voltage is limited to ≤ supply voltage — typical for a VSI topology.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric ATV1200A9404242 AC Drive, 786 kW, 3630 V","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV1200A9404242 Altivar 1200 medium-voltage VFD, 786 kW, 2970-3630 V input, 24-pulse rectifier, CE marked.
