It's designed for asynchronous and synchronous motors in the 160 to 132 kW range on a 380 to 415 V three-phase supply at 50/60 Hz. Total harmonic current distortion (THDI) stays below 5% at full load, meeting IEEE 519 — that means you can run this on a shared transformer without over-sizing the generator or worrying about nuisance tripping from upstream harmonics. The enclosure ships with a line choke, main switch, terminal blocks for supply and motor, and a graphical operating panel in the door — it's a near-turnkey package for a regenerative drive installation. IP23 protection means it's suitable for indoor electrical rooms where occasional dripping water or debris might be present, but not washdown environments. ## Integration and communication Communication is handled via Modbus serial, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP on board — no option card needed for basic PLC integration. The drive sits on a standard floor footprint; forced convection cooling means you need clearance around the enclosure for airflow, not a separate fan cabinet. Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1 and overvoltage category III mean it's rated for a typical industrial environment with non-conductive dust and transient overvoltages from the mains — no special filtering required for most plant-floor installations. Operating temperature range is 0 to 40 °C without derating, 40 to 50 °C with derating. Below 0 °C you need the optional enclosure heating. Altitude derating starts at 1000 m — 1% per 100 m up to 4800 m, with specific earthing system notes for TT, TN, and IT systems above 2000 m. Vibration resistance is 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 3 to 20 Hz and 0.6 gn at 10 to 200 Hz, meeting IEC 60721-3-3 class 3M3. Shock resistance is 4 gn for 11 ms. That's enough for most fixed industrial installations but not for mobile or high-vibration applications like crushers or shakers without additional isolation. The drive carries CE marking and complies with IEC 60204-1, IEC 61800-2, IEC 61800-3, and IEC 61800-5-1. EMC immunity levels are test level 3 for electrostatic discharge, radiated RF, conducted RF, and surges, with level 4 for fast transients — that's a robust industrial immunity profile for noisy plant environments.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric ATV980C16Q4X1 Altivar Process ATV980, 160","metaDescription":"Active-production regenerative drive, 380-415V 3-phase, <5% THDI, IP23 floor-standing enclosure with line choke and graphical panel.
