The forced-convection cooling keeps it running in enclosure ambients up to the standard derating curve. Safety is SIL3-capable via the STO (Safe Torque Off) function, so you can tie it into a safety-rated stop circuit without a separate contactor. The drive also includes motor thermal protection, phase loss detection, and overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring on the DC bus. ## Ratings that drive the decision At 480 V, the drive's apparent power hits 203 kVA normal duty, so the upstream MCCB and cable need to handle at least 250 A continuous. Switching frequency adjusts from 2.5 to 8 kHz — higher kHz cuts motor noise but derates the output current. For a pump or fan running at 2.5 kHz, you'll get full rated current; at 8 kHz you lose some headroom, so check the derating table in the manual. The drive accepts synchronous and asynchronous motors, so it works with permanent-magnet or induction machines. Prospective line short-circuit rating is 50 kA, which handles most secondary-side substations without a series reactor. Pollution degree 2 and vibration resistance to 0.5 gn at 13–200 Hz mean it's not a delicate instrument — it survives plant-floor rumble. Lifecycle status is current — you aren't buying into an end-of-life pipeline. The CE marking is listed directly on the nameplate. The drive is designed against IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), IEC 61000-3-12 (harmonic limits), IEC 60721-3 (environmental), plus functional safety standards IEC 61508 and IEC 13849-1. That covers most European and harmonized global requirements in one package. Shipment includes a control unit, the power module, mechanical mounting hardware, a power connection set with fuses, and a front cover — no hidden BOM gotchas. The EMC filter is factory-integrated, so the drive arrives ready for a standard industrial panel. ## Integration and communication Cabinet-mount only — not a standalone enclosure, so you'll provide UL type 1 or 12 per UL 61800-5-1 depending on your panel's rating. Forced-convection cooling dictates spacing around the heatsink; the manual gives clearance minimums. Mounting altitude up to 4800 m with derating above 1000 m — fine for most plants except high-altitude mines. Communication is modular: Slot A accepts Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen (RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals). There are also I/O and relay extension option cards for that slot. The base drive has a 2-wire RS-485 Modbus serial port (RTU, 1–247 addresses, 4.8–38.4 kbit/s) and a dual Ethernet port for Modbus TCP (10/100 Mbit, half/full duplex). The Ethernet port supports multiple masters and daisy-chain topologies — good for line-level architecture.","metaTitle":"Schneider ATV6B0C16T4 Altivar Process Drive, 160 kW 250 hp","metaDescription":"Active production Altivar Process ATV600 drive, 160 kW 250 hp, 245 A normal duty, integrated EMC filter C3, STO SIL3, CE marked.
