In heavy-duty service the numbers drop to 550 hp, 434 A, and 451 kVA — that's the margin for constant-torque loads like conveyors or extruders that need full torque at low speed. ## STO SIL 3 and the safety circuit Safe Torque Off rated SIL 3 per IEC 61508 means the drive removes motor torque without a main contactor — the safety function lives in the control board, not an external relay. For a commissioning engineer, that translates to fewer interposing safety relays in the panel and a faster certification walk-through on a machine guarding loop. ## EMC filter and cable length — 300 m Integrated EMC filter rated for 300 m of motor cable, Category C3 per IEC 61800-3. That covers most plant-floor runs without an external output choke — the filter handles conducted emissions up to the second environment (industrial). The 50 kA prospective short-circuit current rating at the line side means the drive coordinates with a 50 kA SCCR panel without an upstream current-limiting fuse. ## Fieldbus slot architecture Slot A accepts Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen — the same hardware carrier, different communication module. The drive also carries a native Modbus serial port (RS-485, 2-wire, 4.8 to 38.4 kbit/s) and a dual-port Ethernet/IP + Modbus TCP interface at 10/100 Mbit/s. For a controls integrator, the slot approach means the fieldbus decision can wait until the panel build phase, not the drive order date. ## Harmonics and THDI <5 % Total harmonic current distortion below 5 % at full load, meeting IEEE 519. That's the built-in active front-end or multi-pulse rectifier doing its work — no external line reactor or active filter needed for most utility compliance checks. At partial load the THDI stays low enough to avoid nuisance transformer heating in shared-bus installations. ## Cabinet mount and UL type 1/12 Cabinet-mount design with UL Type 1 (finger-safe) and Type 12 (dust-tight) ratings when integrated into an enclosure. The forced-convection cooling (2 to 4.9 kHz switching frequency, derated above 4 kHz) needs clearance above and below the heatsink — plan for 150 mm minimum free air path. The line-side screw terminals and M10 motor bus bars take up to 500 MCM cable. The ATV6B0C63T6 is a standard catalog part in the Altivar Process ATV600 family, so spares availability is stable for the foreseeable future. Quoted to order against your BOM; lead time and volume pricing confirmed at RFQ through authorized distribution.","metaTitle":"Schneider ATV6B0C63T6 Altivar Process 600 V VFD, 650 hp","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV6B0C63T6 Altivar Process ATV600 AC drive, 650 hp normal duty at 600 V, 511 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 Drive (VFD) 600V"],"specifications":{"title":"ATV6B0C63T6","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 UL 61800-5-1","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":"75 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 600 V, 650 hp","Line current":"511.0 A 600 V normal duty) 434.0 A 600 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":"531 kVA at 600 V normal duty 451 kVA at 600 V heavy duty","Motor power hp":"650.0 hp at 600 V normal duty 550.0 hp at 600 V heavy duty","Output voltage":"<= power supply voltage","Kit composition":"1 control unit mechanical mounting kits power connection set of fuses 3.0 power module 200 kW 2 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 -
