It drives both synchronous and asynchronous motors, rated 160 kW at 690 V normal duty and 132 kW at 690 V heavy duty, with a corresponding line current of 163 A normal and 138 A heavy duty. Apparent power reaches 195 kVA at normal duty, 165 kVA heavy duty. The switching frequency is adjustable from 2 to 4.9 kHz, with derating above the lower end — so if you need quieter operation at 4 kHz, expect a current reduction. The integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 for 300 m of motor cable, which covers most industrial installations without an external filter. The drive includes Safe Torque Off (STO) rated SIL 3, and a comprehensive suite of protections: thermal, overcurrent, short-circuit, phase loss, overvoltage/undervoltage on the DC bus, overspeed, and motor phase break. The IP00 chassis requires cabinet integration for IP21 or IP54; the UL type 1 and type 12 ratings apply only when mounted in a suitable enclosure. ## Fieldbus and I/O flexibility Three option card slots (A, B, C) accept communication modules for Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, and CANopen (daisy chain RJ45, SUB-D 9, or screw terminals). Slot A also takes digital/analog I/O extension modules and output relay modules; slots B and C accept encoder interface modules (digital 5/12 V, analog, resolver). The drive ships with a control unit, mechanical mounting kits, power connection set, fuses, and a 200 kW power module. Built-in serial Modbus RTU (2-wire RS-485, 4.8 to 38.4 kbit/s, RTU frame, 1 to 247 addresses) and Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP (10/100 Mbit/s, half/full duplex, autonegotiation) are standard. The digital inputs require an external 24 V DC supply (19…30 V); an internal 24 V DC supply (21…27 V) powers the digital inputs and STO logic. A 10.5 V DC reference supply is available for a 1 to 10 kΩ potentiometer. Rated for operation at 50…60 Hz ±5 %, altitudes up to 2000 m (derate above 1000 m), 5…95 % relative humidity without condensation, and vibration resistance of 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 2…13 Hz and 0.5 gn at 13…200 Hz. Shock resistance is 4 gn for 11 ms. Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1. Noise level is 69 dB. Compliance standards include IEC 61800-3, IEC 61800-5-1, IEC 61000-3-12, IEC 60721-3, IEC 61508, and IEC 13849-1. Marking is CE.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric ATV9A0C16Q6 Altivar Process ATV900 Drive,","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ATV9A0C16Q6 Altivar Process ATV900 drive, 160 kW at 690 V normal duty, 132 kW heavy duty, 163 A line current, STO SIL 3, integrated EMC C3, active production, so","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["AC Drive (VFD) 600V"],"specifications":{"title":"ATV9A0C16Q6","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 at 500 V DC, 1 min","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":"69 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 EtherCAT 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/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","description":"Variable speed drive, Altivar Process ATV900, APM, single 690 V, 160 kW","Line current":"163.0 A 690 V normal duty) 138.0 A 690 V heavy duty)","Maximum THDI":"<48 % from 80...100 % of load","Exchange mode":"Half duplex, full duplex, autonegotiation Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP","Mounting mode":"Cabinet mount","Apparent power":"195.0 kVA at 690 V normal duty 165.0 kVA at 690 V heavy duty","Motor power kW":"160.0 kW at 690 V normal duty 132.0 kW at 690 V heavy duty","Kit composition":"1 control unit mechanical mounting kits power connection set of fuses 1.0 power module 200 kW","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 ATV900","Shock resistance":"4 gn 11 ms IEC 60068-2-27","Supply frequency":"50...60 Hz +/- 5 %","Device short name":"ATV9A0","Relative humidity":"5...95 % without condensation IEC 60068-2-3","Transmission rate":"10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP 4.8, 9.6, 19.2, 38.4 kbit/s Modbus serial","Operating altitude":"0...2000 m with current derating above 1000m","Physical interface":"2-wire RS 485 Modbus serial","Transmission frame":"RTU Modbus serial","Number of addresses":"1...247 Modbus serial","Product destination":"Synchronous motors Asynchronous motors","Switching frequency":"2...4.9 kHz adjustable with derating factor","Degree of protection":"UL type 1 conforming to UL 61800-5-1 (cabinet integration) UL type 12 conforming to UL 61800-5-1 (cabinet integration)","Frequency resolution":"Display unit 0.1 Hz Analog input 0.012/50 Hz","Prospective line Isc":"50 kA","Type of polarization":"No impedance Modbus serial","Vibration resistance":"1.5 mm peak to peak (f= 2...13 Hz) conforming to IEC 60068-2-6 0.5 gn (f= 13...200 Hz) conforming to IEC 60068-2-6","Electrical connection":"Control removable screw terminals 0.5...1.5 mm² AWG 20...AWG 16 Line side screw terminal Motor M10 x 2 bars","IP degree of protection":"IP00 for IP21 or IP54 cabinet integration)IEC 61800-5-1 IP00 for IP21 or IP54 cabinet integration)IEC 60529","Motor slip compensation":"Adjustable Automatic whatever the load Not available in permanent magnet motor law Can be suppressed","Network number of phases":"3 phases","Continuous output current":"175.0 A at 2.5 kHz normal duty 145.0 A at 2.5 kHz heavy duty","Maximum transient current":"210.0 A 60 s normal duty) 217.5 A 60 s heavy duty)","Product or component type":"Variable speed drive","[Us] rated supply voltage":"690 V -
