It is designed for asynchronous, synchronous, and permanent magnet motors, with a 24-pulse diode rectifier front end that keeps input THDI below 3% per IEEE 519-1992. The 5000 kVA apparent power and 4000 kW normal duty motor rating set the size class: this drive is for large induction or synchronous motors in the 3–4 MW range, not for small variable-torque loads. The heavy duty rating of 3460 kW gives headroom for constant-torque or high-starting-torque applications. Line current draws 694 A in normal duty, 596 A in heavy duty — these numbers drive the upstream transformer and cable sizing. The 24-pulse rectifier and integrated EMC filter (C3 on control, C4 on power) mean the drive meets IEEE 519-1992 for harmonic distortion without external filtering in most installations. The drive ships in a floor-standing enclosure with cable entry from the bottom. Cooling is forced convection; the noise level is 85 dB — plan for hearing protection if the drive is in a manned area. The control block includes two RJ45 ports for Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP and one for Modbus serial, plus slot A for fieldbus option cards (Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen, EtherCAT). Slot B accepts encoder interface modules (digital 5/12 V, analog, resolver, HTL). Power losses run 151.5 kW in normal duty and 131 kW in heavy duty — that heat must be removed by the room or cabinet ventilation.","metaTitle":"Schneider ATV6000C500A4242NA3 Medium Voltage Drive, 5000 kVA","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV6000C500A4242NA3 medium voltage drive, 5000 kVA, 4000 kW normal duty.
