The Schneider ATH650U55N4 is an Altivar HVAC drive sized for a 5.5 kW (7.5 hp) motor at 380-480 V three-phase. Normal duty line current is 9.331 A at 380 V; heavy duty drops to 7 A at 380 V, so the motor load curve dictates which rating applies. Integrated Class C2 EMC filter covers most commercial installations without an external box. Wall-mount format — 254 mm deep, 189 mm wide, 375 mm tall — fits a standard panel backplate.
Controls and fieldbus
Standard RS-485 port runs Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP at selectable baud rates up to 76.8 kbit/s. Optional communication cards add BACnet IP, PROFINET, or Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP. The control supply is 24 V DC (19...30 V external); internal supplies handle digital inputs, STO, and a 10.5 V reference for the potentiometer. Six digital inputs, two analog inputs, two analog outputs, and three relay outputs cover basic HVAC sequencing without an I/O extension.
Application functions
Built-in PID controller with three additional PID sets, fire mode, forced fire mode, damper control, scroll compressor management, underload detection for broken belt, catch on the fly, and power monitoring. These are not optional firmware — they are standard on this variant. Sampling times for digital inputs are 2 ms + 0.5 ms; analog inputs sample at 5 ms + 1 ms, adequate for HVAC pressure and temperature loops.
