Apparent power comes in at 136 kVA heavy duty, 158 kVA normal duty. It ships as a kit: control unit, mechanical mounting kit, power connection set of fuses, and a 200 kW power module. The integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 for 300 m motor cable runs. That means it's suited for industrial second-environment installations where conducted emissions are a concern, but not for residential or first-environment without additional filtering. Lifecycle status is current production — this is not an NRND or obsolete line. No last-time-buy clock ticking here. The 131 A heavy-duty line current at 600 V is the number to size your input conductors and protective devices against for continuous motor load. The 152 A normal-duty figure applies when the load profile is lighter — pump or fan curves, not constant torque. Prospective line Isc is 50 kA, so the upstream breaker or fuse must have an interrupting rating that covers that fault current at the drive's supply point. Switching frequency is adjustable from 2 to 4.9 kHz with derating. If you're running long motor cables or trying to quiet an audible whine, expect to derate output current at the higher end. The drive handles both synchronous and asynchronous motors, and braking to standstill is by DC injection — no built-in dynamic braking resistor, so plan for an external resistor if you need rapid deceleration or vertical loads. The modular variant means the power module and control unit are separate; the kit includes both plus the mounting hardware. Slot A and Slot B accept option cards for fieldbus (Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, CANopen) or digital/analog I/O and relay extension. The base unit ships with a 2-wire RS 485 Modbus serial port (RTU, 4.8 to 38.4 kbit/s) and a Modbus TCP slave on a 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet port. Cabinet-mount only. The drive is UL Type 1 and Type 12 compliant for cabinet integration — that means it's not a standalone enclosure; it goes inside a panel. Forced-convection cooling, so ensure clearance around the heatsink. Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1, which is typical for a controlled environment. Ambient conditions: 5 to 95% relative humidity without condensation, vibration resistance 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 2–13 Hz and 0.5 gn at 13–200 Hz, shock 4 gn for 11 ms. Supply frequency is 50/60 Hz ±5%. Line connections are screw terminals on the line side and M10 bars on the motor side; control wiring uses removable screw terminals accepting 0.5 to 1.5 mm² (AWG 20 to 16). Current production — no phase-out or NRND flag. The ATV6A0C16T6 is a standard catalog item carrying CE marking and compliance with IEC 61800-3, IEC 61800-5-1, IEC 61000-3-12, IEC 60721-3, IEC 61508, IEC 13849-1, and UL 61800-5-1. The integrated EMC filter keeps total harmonic current distortion below 48% at full load per IEC 61000-3-12. Noise level is 69 dB per 86/188/EEC.","metaTitle":"Schneider Altivar ATV6A0C16T6 VFD, 150-175 hp, 600 V","metaDescription":"Schneider Altivar Process ATV600 ATV6A0C16T6 VFD, 150-175 hp at 600 V, integrated EMC filter C3, STO SIL 3, modular, current production.
