The normal-duty figure governs continuous fan/pump loads; the heavy-duty figure applies to constant-torque applications like conveyors or extruders where the drive must deliver rated torque across the speed range. Line current at 500 V is 204 A normal duty, 169 A heavy duty — this sets the upstream breaker and cable sizing. Apparent power is 176 kVA normal duty, 146 kVA heavy duty, which feeds into transformer sizing and power factor correction planning. ## Safety and compliance — STO SIL 3, EMC, harmonic limits This simplifies the safety circuit design for guarding applications where the drive must remove torque on a safety demand. The integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 with 300 m motor cable — covers most industrial installations without an external filter. Total harmonic current distortion (THDI) is below 5% at full load per IEEE 519, so harmonic compliance is built in for typical plant distribution systems. Prospective line short-circuit current rating is 50 kA — the drive is rated for installation on supplies with up to 50 kA available fault current, which covers most industrial service entrances without additional current-limiting fusing upstream. ## Modular construction and fieldbus options This is the modular version — the power section and control section are separate assemblies. That means a control module swap or upgrade does not require removing the power wiring, and a power module replacement leaves the control wiring intact. The kit includes the control unit, power module, mounting kit, power connection set, fuses, and front cover. Slot A accepts communication option cards: Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen (daisy chain RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals). The base unit includes a 2-wire RS 485 Modbus serial port running RTU protocol at 4.8 to 38.4 kbit/s, plus a Modbus TCP/Ethernet IP port at 10/100 Mbit/s. ## Mounting, cooling, and environmental limits Cabinet mount only — UL type 1 or type 12 enclosure integration per UL 61800-5-1. Forced convection cooling with a noise level of 73 dB. Operating altitude is up to 2000 m with current derating above 1000 m; relative humidity 5-95% non-condensing per IEC 60068-2-3. Vibration resistance: 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 2-13 Hz, 0.5 gn at 13-200 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6. Shock resistance: 4 gn for 11 ms per IEC 60068-2-27. Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1 — suitable for typical control room or electrical room environments without conductive contamination.","metaTitle":"Schneider ATV6B0C25N6 Altivar Process Drive, 160 kW, 500 V","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV6B0C25N6 Altivar Process ATV600 drive, 160 kW normal duty at 500 V, 204 A line current, STO SIL 3, integrated EMC filter C3.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["AC Drives (VFD)"],"specifications":{"title":"ATV6B0C25N6","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":"73 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, Low Harmonic 500 V, 160 kW","Line current":"204.0 A 500 V normal duty) 169.0 A 500 V heavy duty)","Maximum THDI":"<5 % full load IEEE 519","Exchange mode":"Half duplex, full duplex, autonegotiation Ethernet/Modbus TCP","Mounting mode":"Cabinet mount","Apparent power":"176 kVA at 500 V normal duty 146 kVA at 500 V heavy duty","Motor power kW":"160.0 kW at 500 V normal duty 132.0 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 -
