1831 kW medium-voltage drive with 36-pulse input
The ATV1200A24006363 is a medium-voltage variable speed drive from the Altivar 1200 series, rated for 1831 kW motor power with 2190 kVA apparent power and a line current of 200 A. It uses a 36-pulse diode rectifier bridge input, which significantly reduces line-side harmonics compared to 6- or 12-pulse topologies — a key consideration when connecting to a weak grid or meeting IEEE 519 compliance without external filters. Supply voltage limits are 2970 to 3630 V, and the output voltage is equal to or less than the supply voltage — this is a direct-to-line drive, not a step-up configuration. The 36-pulse design requires a phase-shifting transformer, which is included as part of the product composition.
Physical footprint and enclosure
This drive ships in a floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows for the power section and control compartment. Dimensions depend on the efficiency variant: standard efficiency measures 5170 mm wide × 1600 mm deep × 2670 mm high; the high-efficiency version is wider at 5470 mm and deeper at 1700 mm, with the same height. The forced convection cooling system moves 23,100 m³/h of air — plan for adequate room ventilation and clearance around the enclosure intake and exhaust.
Overload capability and motor compatibility
The drive handles both standard and high overload profiles. Standard overload: 1.2 × In for 60 seconds or 1.5 × In for 3 seconds. High overload: 1.5 × In for 60 seconds or 1.85 × In for 3 seconds. This dual rating lets the same drive serve constant-torque applications (conveyors, extruders) on the high-overload curve and variable-torque loads (pumps, fans) on the standard curve — no need to oversize the drive for occasional peak demand. The ATV1200A24006363 is designed for both synchronous and asynchronous motors, with a speed range of 20 to 100 %. The integrated EMC filter and ground fault protection are built in, not optional add-ons.
Compliance and standards coverage
CE marked and designed to EN/IEC 61800-3 (EMC), EN/IEC 61800-4 (harmonic), EN/IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), EN/IEC 60204-11 (machinery), and EN/IEC 60529 (enclosure protection). Pollution degree 2 per EN/IEC 61800-5-1, overvoltage category II. Dielectric strength is 20 kV AC between earth and power terminals. Prospective line short-circuit current rating is 31.5 kA for 150 ms — the drive can ride through a bolted fault on the primary side without self-destructing. Lifecycle status is current production — this is an active catalogue item, not a discontinued or NRND part.
