1346 kW motor rating — what it means for your load
The ATV1200A16105555 is rated for 1346 kW motor power at an apparent power of 1610 kVA. That puts it squarely in the medium-voltage drive class for large synchronous and asynchronous motors — think mainline conveyors, mine hoists, large pumps, and compressors where the motor nameplate sits north of 1 MW. The 30-pulse diode rectifier input means the drive draws line current at 200 A with a harmonic profile that typically meets IEEE 519 without additional filtering — a real advantage when the plant's power-quality engineer is watching the THD at the PCC.
Supply voltage and input topology — the medium-voltage reality
Supply voltage limits are 2970 to 3630 V — this is a 3.3 kV-class drive, not a 4160 V or 6.6 kV unit. The output voltage is <= the supply voltage, so the motor winding insulation and the transformer taps need to match the incoming bus, not the other way around. The prospective line short-circuit current is 31.5 kA for 150 ms. That number governs the upstream breaker or fuse coordination — the drive's input section is designed to ride through that fault level without catastrophic failure, but the protection devices upstream need to be set to clear within that window.
Physical footprint and enclosure — plan the floor space now
This drive ships as a floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows for power and control sections. The standard-efficiency variant measures 4360 mm wide by 1500 mm deep; the high-efficiency version is 4660 mm wide by 1600 mm deep. Both stand 2670 mm tall. That is a substantial footprint — plan for a dedicated drive room with overhead crane access for the transformer and cell replacement. Cooling airflow is 19800 m³/h for standard efficiency, 23100 m³/h for high efficiency. The noise level at full load is 80 dB — hearing protection zones and acoustic treatment need to be in the room layout from the start.
Overload capability and duty cycle
The overload profiles are defined for both standard and high overload applications: 1.2× In for 60 s or 1.5× In for 3 s under standard overload; 1.5× In for 60 s or 1.85× In for 3 s under high overload. That means the drive can handle a 185 % current spike for three seconds — enough to break a stuck conveyor or clear a jam without tripping, but the duty cycle needs to respect the thermal recovery time between events.
Compliance and standards — what the CE mark covers
The drive carries CE marking and is designed to EN/IEC 60204-11 (safety of machinery), EN/IEC 60529 (ingress protection), EN/IEC 61800-3 (EMC for adjustable-speed drives), EN/IEC 61800-4 (drive system requirements), and EN/IEC 61800-5-1 (electrical, thermal, and energy safety). Pollution degree 2 per EN/IEC 61800-5-1 means it is intended for a clean, climate-controlled electrical room — not a dusty mill floor. Dielectric strength is 20 kV AC between earth and power terminals. That is the withstand voltage for the insulation system — relevant for the commissioning hipot test and for verifying that the isolation between the medium-voltage power section and the control electronics is intact.
Sourcing and lifecycle — active production, quoted to order
The product composition includes the phase-shifting transformer, 15 power cells, cooling fans, HMI, and medium-voltage arrestors — it arrives as a complete drive system, not a bare chassis that needs a separate line-up of components.
