The normal-duty line current is 380 A at 500 V; heavy-duty line current is 303 A at 500 V. Apparent power is 329 kVA at 500 V normal duty, 262 kVA at 500 V heavy duty. These are the numbers that govern transformer sizing, cable cross-section, and upstream breaker coordination — the heavy-duty figure is the one that holds the unit on the grid under a sustained overload. Switching frequency is adjustable from 2 to 4.9 kHz with a derating factor — raising it quiets the motor whine but reduces the continuous output current. The drive is designed for both asynchronous and synchronous motors, with braking to standstill by DC injection. ## STO SIL 3 and integrated protection suite The drive also provides thermal protection for both motor and drive, motor phase break detection, overcurrent between output phases and earth, short-circuit protection, overvoltages on the DC bus, line supply over/undervoltage, phase loss, and overspeed protection. That list covers the fault conditions a site electrical engineer needs to map into the protection logic without adding external relays. The integrated EMC filter is rated for 300 m cable at category C3 per IEC 61800-3 — suitable for industrial environments with a dedicated transformer, not for residential or public low-voltage networks. The prospective line short-circuit current is 50 kA, so the upstream protective device must be coordinated to that SCCR level. ## Modular construction and fieldbus flexibility This is the modular version — the kit ships as a control unit, mechanical mounting kits, power connection set of fuses, one 200 kW power module, and a front cover. Slot A accepts communication modules for Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen (daisy-chain RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals). Slot A/slot B also accept digital/analog I/O extension and output relay extension modules. The base drive includes a 2-wire RS 485 Modbus serial port with RTU frame, configurable 8-bit data, odd/even/no parity, and addresses 1–247. The Ethernet port runs Modbus TCP at 10/100 Mbit/s with half/full duplex autonegotiation. ## Cabinet integration and environmental ratings Cabinet-mount only — UL type 1 and UL type 12 per UL 61800-5-1 when integrated into a suitable enclosure. Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1 (non-conductive pollution only). Operating altitude is below 2000 m with current derating above 1000 m. Vibration resistance is 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 2–13 Hz and 0.5 gn at 13–200 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6; shock resistance is 4 gn for 11 ms per IEC 60068-2-27. Relative humidity range is 5–95% without condensation per IEC 60068-2-3. Noise level is 70 dB per 86/188/EEC.","metaTitle":"Schneider ATV6A0C40N6 Altivar Process VFD, 280 kW, 500 V","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV6A0C40N6 Altivar Process ATV600 AC drive, 280 kW at 500 V normal duty, 220 kW heavy duty.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["AC Drives (VFD)"],"specifications":{"title":"ATV6A0C40N6","Marking":"CE","Variant":"Modular version","Standards":"IEC 61800-3 IEC 61800-5-1 IEC 61000-3-12 IEC 60721-3 IEC 61508 IEC 13849-1","EMC filter":"Integrated 984.3 ft (300 m) IEC 61800-3 category C3","Data format":"8 bits, configurable odd, even or no parity Modbus serial","Noise level":"70 dB 86/188/EEC","Option card":"Slot A communication module, Profibus DP V1 Slot A communication module, PROFINET Slot A communication module, DeviceNet Slot A communication module, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP Slot A communication module, CANopen daisy chain RJ45 Slot A communication module, CANopen SUB-D 9 Slot A communication module, CANopen screw terminals Slot A/slot B digital and analog I/O extension module Slot A/slot B output relay extension module","description":"Variable speed drive, Altivar Process ATV600, APM, single 500 V, 280 kW","Line current":"380.0 A 500 V normal duty) 303.0 A 500 V heavy duty)","Maximum THDI":"<48 % full load IEC 61000-3-12","Exchange mode":"Half duplex, full duplex, autonegotiation Ethernet/Modbus TCP","Mounting mode":"Cabinet mount","Apparent power":"329 kVA at 500 V normal duty 262 kVA at 500 V heavy duty","Motor power kW":"280.0 kW at 500 V normal duty 220.0 kW at 500 V heavy duty","Output voltage":"<= power supply voltage","Kit composition":"1 control unit mechanical mounting kits power connection set of fuses 2.0 power module 200 kW 1 front cover","Protection type":"Thermal protection motor Safe torque off motor Motor phase break motor Thermal protection drive Safe torque off drive Overheating drive Overcurrent between output phases and earth drive Overload of output voltage drive Short-circuit protection drive Motor phase break drive Overvoltages on the DC bus drive Line supply overvoltage drive Line supply undervoltage drive Line supply phase loss drive Overspeed drive Break on the control circuit drive","Safety function":"STO (safe torque off) SIL 3","Type of cooling":"Forced convection","lifecycle_stage":"current","Method of access":"Slave Modbus TCP","Pollution degree":"2 IEC 61800-5-1","Range of product":"Altivar Process ATV600","Shock resistance":"4 gn 11 ms IEC 60068-2-27","Supply frequency":"50...60 Hz -
