The ATV1200A12905555 is an Altivar 1200 series medium-voltage drive rated for 1078 kW motor power at an input voltage of 2970…3630 V AC. That supply range puts it squarely on 3.3 kV-class distribution systems — the 30-pulse diode rectifier bridge cleans up line harmonics without a separate filter, meeting EN/IEC 61800-3 EMC limits as shipped. Apparent power is 1290 kVA with a line current of 135 A. The overload profile gives you two duty bands: 1.2× rated current for 60 s (standard overload) or 1.5× for 60 s (high overload), plus a 3 s burst at 1.85×. That means the drive handles a heavy start or a momentary jam without tripping — useful for high-inertia loads like large fans or centrifugal compressors. Dielectric strength is 20 kV AC between power terminals and earth — this is a medium-voltage drive, so the isolation barrier is sized for the primary circuit, not a 480 V panel. Pollution degree 2 per EN/IEC 61800-5-1 applies, which is the normal industrial environment assumption.
Physical footprint and enclosure integration
This is a floor-standing enclosure, not a cabinet module. Dimensions are 2670 mm high by 3960 mm wide (high-efficiency variant) or 3660 mm wide (standard-efficiency variant), with a depth of 1600 mm or 1500 mm respectively. That is a substantial footprint — plan for a dedicated drive room with overhead lifting access. Cooling is forced convection with separate air flows for the power cells and the control section. The high-efficiency variant moves 19,800 m³/h of air; the standard-efficiency variant moves 16,500 m³/h. Noise level is 80 dB — hearing protection is mandatory in the drive room during operation. The product composition includes two plinths, a phase-shifting transformer, medium-voltage arrestors, cooling fans, an HMI, and 15 power cells. That means the drive is a multi-cabinet assembly — the transformer and cells are separate sections cabled together on site.
Lifecycle, sourcing, and what to expect on a BOM line
Lifecycle status is current — this is an active-production model from Schneider Electric. The drive carries CE marking and complies with EN/IEC 60204-11, EN/IEC 60529, EN/IEC 61800-3, EN/IEC 61800-4, and EN/IEC 61800-5-1. That covers electrical safety, EMC, enclosure protection, and functional safety integration — the documentation package for FAT and site acceptance is standard. Sourced to order against the BOM through independent distribution.
