It uses a 24-pulse diode rectifier bridge on the input, which keeps total harmonic current distortion (THDI) below 3% per IEEE 519-1992 without external filters — a key spec for sites with strict power-quality requirements. ## Line current and power delivery Line current is 408 A in heavy duty and 470 A in normal duty, with apparent power rated at 3380 kVA and a power factor of 0.96. Power losses run 102.6 kW (heavy duty) to 117.3 kW (normal duty) — forced convection cooling handles the thermal load, with a noise level of 83 dB. ## Physical footprint and enclosure The drive ships in a floor-standing enclosure measuring 108.3 in high by 211.02 in wide by 66.9 in deep — plan the substructure and clearance for cable entry from the bottom. The light grey (RAL 7035) cabinet includes a 10-inch LCD touchscreen HMI, plinth, phase-shifting transformer, power cells, cooling fans, and medium-voltage arrestors as standard equipment. ## Control and communication options Control is handled by an IGBT inverter with multilevel PWM output. The drive supports slot-based option cards for Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen (RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals), and EtherCAT, plus encoder interface modules (digital 5/12 V, analog, resolver, HTL) and I/O or relay extension modules. Built-in communication includes two RJ45 ports for Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP and one RJ45 for Modbus serial. The control circuit accepts 100–240 V AC or 120–370 V DC; the cooling fan requires 400 V AC at 17 kVA. ## Compliance and lifecycle Marked CULus, CE, and UKCA, the drive complies with IEC 61800-3, EN/IEC 61800-4, IEC 61800-5-1, IEC 60529, IEEE 519:1992, EN/IEC 60076, and UL 347A. Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric ATV6000C338A4242ND AC Drive, 2360 kW HD","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV6000C338A4242ND AC Drive (VFD) 480V, 2360 kW heavy duty, 24-pulse rectifier, <3% THDI, CULus CE UKCA.
