If you push the carrier higher to quiet motor whine, you'll need to derate further — the 2.5 kHz figure is the baseline for full current. Supply voltage is 380-440 V three-phase — common 400 V class industrial mains. The drive includes an integrated EMC filter (with optional EMC plate) and meets IEC 61800-3 for conducted emissions in industrial environments. ## Enclosure, mounting, and cooling — plan the cabinet space IP54 protection means the drive handles dust and splashing water — fine for most indoor plant floors but not for washdown zones. Floor-standing mounting with vertical orientation (+/- 10°) is required; the unit pulls 720 m³/h of cooling air, so make sure the cabinet intake and exhaust are clear. Line and motor connections use M12 bar terminals; control wiring is on removable screw terminals accepting 0.5-1.5 mm². The three option slots (A, B, C) accept fieldbus modules (Profibus, PROFINET, EtherCAT, CANopen, DeviceNet, Ethernet Powerlink), encoder interfaces, and I/O or relay expansion — configure the drive to match your network before it ships. ## Built-in control supply and safety features The drive provides a 24 V DC internal supply for digital inputs and STO (safe torque off) — range 21-27 V — plus a separate 10.5 V reference for an external potentiometer (1-10 kOhm). That saves an external 24 V PSU for the control logic in many panels. An adjustable PID regulator is built in for closed-loop process control (pressure, flow, level). The drive also supports asynchronous and synchronous motors, so it covers induction and PM motor retrofits. CE marked, designed to IEC 60204-1, IEC 61800-2/-3/-5-1. Pollution degree 2, overvoltage category III, and EMC immunity tested to level 3 (radiated/conducted) and level 4 (fast transients). Chemical resistance class 3C3 and dust class 3S3 per IEC 60721-3-3 — suitable for typical industrial atmospheres with moderate chemical exposure. Operating altitude up to 1000 m without derating, then 1 % current derating per 100 m up to 4800 m. Ambient temperature range is not explicitly listed in this summary, but the 720 m³/h airflow and IP54 enclosure suggest it's intended for a conditioned or ventilated electrical room. ## Lifecycle and sourcing — still in active production We source this drive to order against your BOM quantity. Send an RFQ with your target quantity and delivery window.","metaTitle":"Schneider ATV950C16N4F AC Drive, 160 kW, 302 A, IP54","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV950C16N4F Altivar Process drive, 160 kW ND / 132 kW HD, 302 A output, 380-440 V, IP54, active production.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["AC Drive (VFD) 480V"],"specifications":{"title":"ATV950C16N4F","Supply":"External supply for digital inputs: 24 V DC (19...30 V), Internal supply for reference potentiometer (1 to 10 kOhm): 10.5 V DC +/- 5 %, Internal supply for digital inputs and STO: 24 V DC (21...27 V), 1 MOhm 500 V DC for 1 minute to earth","Marking":"CE","Variant":"With load break switch Without braking chopper","Standards":"IEC 60204-1 IEC 61800-2 IEC 61800-3 IEC 61800-5-1","EMC filter":"Integrated With EMC plate option","Data format":"8 bits, configurable odd, even or no parity","Noise level":"69 dB","description":"variable speed drive, Altivar Process ATV900, floor standing ATV950, 160kW, 400 to 440V, without braking unit, IP54","Maximum THDI":"<48 % full load conforming to IEC 61000-3-12","Exchange mode":"Half duplex, full duplex, autonegotiation Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP","Mounting mode":"Floor-standing","Option Module":"Slot A: communication module for Profibus DP V1 Slot A: communication module for PROFINET Slot A: communication module for DeviceNet Slot A: communication module for EtherCAT Slot A: communication module for CANopen daisy chain RJ45 Slot A: communication module for CANopen SUB-D 9 Slot A: communication module for CANopen screw terminals Slot A/slot B/slot C: digital and analog I/O extension module Slot A/slot B/slot C: output relay extension module Slot B: 5/12 V digital encoder interface module Slot B: analog encoder interface module Slot B: resolver encoder interface module communication module for Ethernet Powerlink","Assembly style":"In floor-standing enclosure","Motor power kW":"160.0 kW for normal duty 132.0 kW for heavy duty","Regulation loop":"Adjustable PID regulator","lifecycle_stage":"current","Pollution degree":"2","Range of product":"Altivar Process ATV900","Shock resistance":"15 gn for 11 ms conforming to IEC 60068-2-27","Relative humidity":"5...95 % without condensation conforming to IEC 60068-2-3","Transmission rate":"10, 100 Mbits 4.8 kbps 9600 bit/s 19200 bit/s","Device application":"Industrial application","Operating altitude":"1000...4800 m with current derating 1 % per 100 m","Operating position":"Vertical +/- 10 degree","Number of addresses":"1...247","Product destination":"Asynchronous motors Synchronous motors","Overvoltage category":"III","Type of polarization":"No impedance","Vibration resistance":"1.5 mm peak to peak (f= 2...13 Hz) conforming to IEC 60068-2-6 1 gn (f= 13...200 Hz) conforming to IEC 60068-2-6","Electrical connection":"Control: removable screw terminals 0.5...1.5 mm² Line side: M12 bar Motor: M12 bar","Volume of cooling air":"720 m3/h","Nominal Output Current":"302.0 A","IP degree of protection":"IP54","Network number of phases":"3 phases","Continuous output current":"302 A at 2.5 kHz for normal duty 250 A at 2.5 kHz for heavy duty","Product or component type":"Variable speed drive","[Us] rated supply voltage":"380...440 V","Communication port protocol":"Modbus serial Modbus TCP EtherNet/IP","Environmental characteristic":"Chemical pollution resistance class 3C3 conforming to IEC 60721-3-3 Dust pollution resistance class 3S3 conforming to IEC 60721-3-3","Product specific application":"Process for industrial","Electromagnetic compatibility":"Electrostatic discharge immunity test level 3 conforming to IEC 61000-4-2 Radiated radio-frequency electromagnetic field immunity test level 3 conforming to IEC 61000-4-3 Electrical fast transient/burst immunity test level 4 conforming to IEC 61000-4-4 1.2/50 µs -
