What this drive is and what it powers
The ATV1200A22906666 is a Schneider Electric Altivar 1200 medium-voltage AC drive rated for 1914 kW motor power with 2290 kVA apparent power and 200 A line current. It's built for asynchronous motor control in applications where a standard low-voltage drive won't cut the voltage — the supply limits are 2970...3630 V AC. The 36-pulse diode rectifier input stage means the drive draws line current with low harmonic distortion — no external harmonic filter needed for most utility interfaces. The integrated EMC filter handles the conducted emissions side.
Overload capability and duty cycle
Standard overload rating: 1.2 x In for 60 seconds, 1.5 x In for 3 seconds. High overload rating pushes to 1.5 x In for 60 seconds and 1.85 x In for 3 seconds. That's the difference between a pump/fan duty and a crusher/mill duty — the high-overload window handles the breakaway torque of a loaded conveyor or a centrifuge start. The prospective line short-circuit current rating is 31.5 kA for 150 ms — the drive's input section can ride through a bolted fault on the primary side without catastrophic failure, as long as the upstream protection clears within that window.
Physical footprint and installation constraints
This is a floor-standing cabinet, not a panel-mount drive. The enclosure dimensions: 2670 mm high, 5170 mm wide (standard efficiency) or 5470 mm wide (high efficiency), and 1700 mm deep (high efficiency) or 1600 mm deep (standard efficiency). The operating position is vertical ±10 degrees — no laying it on its side. The assembly includes two plinths, a phase-shifting transformer, medium-voltage arrestors, cooling fans, an HMI, and 18 power cells. Forced convection cooling moves 23100 m³/h of air — the room's HVAC needs to handle that heat rejection, and the noise level at 80 dB means ear protection near the cabinet.
I/O complement and control wiring
Four software-configurable analogue inputs (0...20 mA / 4...20 mA, 24 V max, 250 Ohm impedance) and one analogue output of the same type. Six discrete inputs standard, expandable to ten. The control supply is 220 V AC at 3 kVA — separate from the internal fan supply at 380 V AC. Electrical isolation between power and control circuits.
Standards compliance and environmental limits
CE marked. Designed to EN/IEC 60204-11, EN/IEC 60529, EN/IEC 61800-3, EN/IEC 61800-4, and EN/IEC 61800-5-1. Pollution degree 2 per EN/IEC 61800-5-1, overvoltage category II. Dielectric strength tested at 20 kV AC between earth and power terminals. Operating altitude 1000...2000 m with current derating of 0.6 % per 100 m above 1000 m. Relative humidity 0...90 % standard, 0...95 % optional. Vibration resistance 4.9 m/s² at 10...50 Hz.
