Medium-voltage drive, 9614 kW, 48-pulse input
The ATV1200A115001010 is a Schneider Electric Altivar 1200 medium-voltage variable frequency drive rated for 9614 kW motor power at a supply voltage of 2970-3630 V AC. It uses a 48-pulse diode rectifier bridge on the input stage, which means the line-side harmonics are low enough that you can often skip a separate harmonic filter — the 48-pulse topology cancels the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonics at the transformer secondary. This is a floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows for the power cells and the phase-shifting transformer. The drive composition includes 24 power cells, a phase-shifting transformer, medium-voltage arrestors, cooling fans, and a human-machine interface. It is designed for asynchronous motor control in applications where a single drive handles a large load — pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors in mining, cement, oil and gas, or water treatment.
Electrical ratings and overload profile
The drive delivers output voltage up to the supply voltage level and draws 720 A line current. Apparent power rating is 11500 kVA. The overload capability is defined in two duty classes: standard overload allows 1.2× In for 60 seconds and 1.5× In for 3 seconds; high overload allows 1.5× In for 60 seconds and 1.85× In for 3 seconds. This matters for sizing the drive to the load — if your process has short-duration peak torque demands (crushers, mills), the high-overload profile gives you the headroom without oversizing to the next frame. The prospective line short-circuit current withstand is 31.5 kA for 150 ms, and dielectric strength between earth and power terminals is 28 kV AC. These numbers tell you the drive can ride through a bolted fault on the incoming line without catastrophic failure, and the insulation system meets the clearance requirements for a 3.3 kV class medium-voltage drive. Pollution degree 2 per EN/IEC 61800-5-1 applies — the enclosure keeps conductive dust and moisture out of the live parts.
Physical footprint and installation constraints
Altitude derating applies above 1000 m: 0.6 % current derating per 100 m up to 2000 m. If your site is at 1500 m, budget a 3 % reduction in available output current. The supply voltage range is 2970-3630 V, so the drive can ride through typical utility voltage sags on a 3.3 kV system without dropping out. Electrical connection uses M10 bar-type screw terminals accepting up to 6 × 40 mm² conductors per phase, entry from the bottom or top.
The drive carries CE marking and is designed to EN/IEC 60204-11, EN/IEC 60529, EN/IEC 61800-3, EN/IEC 61800-4, and EN/IEC 61800-5-1. The integrated EMC filter covers conducted emissions for the second environment (industrial) per EN/IEC 61800-3. No official successor or cross-reference exists — this is the current Altivar 1200 offering for the 3.3 kV, 9614 kW rating point.
