The ATV1200A25006060 is a Schneider Electric Altivar 1200 medium-voltage variable speed drive rated for 2090 kW motor power at a supply voltage of 2970 to 3630 V. That 2090 kW figure is the continuous motor output the drive can support under standard overload conditions — not a peak or short-time rating. The input stage uses a 30-pulse diode rectifier bridge, which means the harmonic distortion fed back to the line is significantly lower than a 6- or 12-pulse design — relevant if your facility has a utility-imposed harmonic limit or you're feeding from a weak grid. Overload capability is specified as 1.2 In for 60 seconds (standard overload) and 1.5 In for 3 seconds, with a high-overload profile at 1.5 In for 60 seconds and 1.85 In for 3 seconds. The 60-second window at 1.2× rated current covers most starting and load-transient scenarios without forcing a larger drive frame.
Physical footprint and enclosure integration
This drive ships in a floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows for the power section and control compartment. The standard-efficiency variant measures 4660 mm wide by 1600 mm deep by 2670 mm high; the high-efficiency variant is 4960 mm wide by 1700 mm deep at the same height. Forced convection cooling moves 23100 m³/h of air through the cabinet — that volume has to be accounted for in the room's HVAC design, especially if the drive sits in a confined electrical room with other heat sources. The enclosure colour is grey RAL 7032, and the operating position is vertical within ±10 degrees. Mounting orientation outside that window will affect the cooling airflow path and may require derating.
Supply requirements and auxiliary power
The main power supply range is 2970 to 3630 V, with a prospective line short-circuit current withstand of 31.5 kA for 150 ms. That fault rating tells you the drive's input bus can survive a bolted fault at the line terminals long enough for upstream protection to clear — coordination with the supply-side breaker is still required. Control power comes from an external 220 V AC, 3 kVA supply. The cooling fans draw from an internal 380 V AC supply, with an optional external 220 V AC/DC control supply and external 380 V AC fan supply listed as alternatives. The 3 kVA control transformer must be sized into the panel's auxiliary load budget. Line current at rated load is 280 A, with an apparent power of 2500 kVA. The power connection uses M10 bar-type screw terminals accepting 6 x 40 mm² conductors per phase, entry from the bottom or top.
I/O complement and control interface
The drive provides 4 software-configurable analogue inputs (0-20 mA / 4-20 mA, 24 V max, 250 Ohm impedance) and 1 analogue output of the same type. Discrete inputs number 6 standard, expandable to 10 via an optional module. Electrical isolation is maintained between the power and control circuits — the dielectric strength between earth and power terminals is tested at 20 kV AC. This isolation rating is consistent with the EN/IEC 61800-5-1 standard for medium-voltage drives and supports direct connection to the motor without an intermediate isolation transformer in most configurations.
Environmental limits and derating rules
Operating altitude from 1000 to 2000 m requires a current derating of 0.6 % per 100 m above 1000 m. At 2000 m, that's a 6 % reduction in available output current — factor this into the motor sizing if the installation is at elevation. Relative humidity range is 0 to 90 % non-condensing, with an optional extension to 95 %. Pollution degree 2 per EN/IEC 61800-5-1 applies, meaning only non-conductive pollution is expected — the enclosure seal and filter maintenance schedule should reflect the actual site conditions. Vibration resistance is 4.9 m/s² over 10 to 50 Hz, and the noise level at full load is 80 dB. The 80 dB figure is the acoustic emission at the operator position — hearing protection may be required in the drive room depending on local noise exposure limits.
Compliance and standards coverage
CE marked and designed to EN/IEC 60204-11 (electrical equipment of machines — requirements for HV equipment), EN/IEC 60529 (enclosure protection), EN/IEC 61800-3 (EMC for adjustable-speed drives), EN/IEC 61800-4 (general requirements for LV and MV drives), and EN/IEC 61800-5-1 (electrical, thermal, and energy safety). An integrated EMC filter is included, and overvoltage category II per EN/IEC 61800-5-1 applies. The drive supports both synchronous and asynchronous motors per the product destination listing.
Lifecycle status and sourcing posture
The product composition includes 2 plinths, a phase-shifting transformer, medium-voltage arrestors, cooling fans, a human-machine interface, and 15 power cells. Each power cell is a modular building block — if a cell fails in service, the drive can continue at reduced capacity while the replacement cell is sourced. Sourced to order against the BOM quantity through independent industrial distribution.
