Product details

250 hp at 480 V — normal vs heavy duty load profile

The ATH630C16N4Z is a cabinet-mount VFD from the Altivar HVAC ATH600 series, sized for 250 hp (160 kW) in normal duty or 200 hp (132 kW) in heavy duty at 480 V. The two-duty rating lets you match the drive to the actual load cycle — normal duty for variable-torque fan and pump loads, heavy duty for constant-torque conveyors or compressors that need more peak current margin. Line current at 480 V normal duty is 262 A; heavy duty draws 213 A. That difference directly sizes the upstream branch circuit — fuses or MCCB, contactor, and cable must handle the normal-duty figure even if the drive runs in heavy-duty mode most of the time.

SIL 3 safe torque off and integrated safety functions

Safe torque off (STO) is built in to SIL 3 per IEC 61508 and PL e per ISO 13849-1 — no external safety relay needed for the stop function. The drive also monitors motor thermal overload, phase loss, overspeed, output ground faults, and DC bus overvoltage internally, so the protection logic is handled in the drive firmware rather than a separate protection module. The control circuit runs on a separate 24 V DC supply (19...30 V range), keeping the logic alive even if the main power drops. Digital inputs and STO share an internal 24 V supply derived from the same bus.

HVAC-specific firmware and fieldbus options

The drive ships with fire mode, forced fire mode, damper control, broken-belt detection, scroll compressor management, and skipped frequencies — functions tuned for air-handling, chiller, and pump duty cycles rather than general-purpose VFDs. The integrated Class C3 EMC filter meets EN/IEC 61800-3 for industrial environments without an external filter in most installations. Communication options include BACnet IP, PROFINET, and Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP via plug-in option cards. The native serial port runs Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP on 2-wire RS-485 at selectable baud rates up to 76.8 kbit/s.

Sourcing and lifecycle — active production

Global approvals include CE, UKCA, CULus, EAC, RCM, ATEX, and KCC — the drive is accepted in North America, Europe, Eurasia, Australia, and South Korea without additional certification delays.
