602 kW medium-voltage drive for synchronous and asynchronous motors
The ATV1200A8206363 is a Schneider Electric Altivar 1200 medium-voltage AC drive rated for 602 kW motor power with a supply voltage range of 2970-3630 V and 720 kVA apparent power. It drives both asynchronous and synchronous motors, making it suitable for high-power applications like pumps, compressors, fans, and conveyors in heavy industrial environments. The 36-pulse diode rectifier bridge input topology draws 65 A line current and delivers low harmonic distortion, which avoids the need for external harmonic filters in many installations.
Overload profile and fault current withstand
Standard overload capability is 1.2 × In for 60 seconds and 1.5 × In for 3 seconds; high overload mode provides 1.5 × In for 60 seconds and 1.85 × In for 3 seconds, covering both normal and heavy-duty starting cycles. The drive withstands a prospective line short-circuit current of 31.5 kA for 150 ms, which means it can ride through upstream faults without damage during the clearing time of the protection device. Dielectric strength is 20 kV AC between earth and power terminals, with electrical isolation between power and control circuits per EN/IEC 61800-5-1.
Physical footprint and cooling design
The drive ships in a floor-standing enclosure with separate air flows for the transformer and power cells. Standard efficiency dimensions are 3060 mm wide × 2520 mm high × 1400 mm deep; high efficiency adds width to 3660 mm and height to 2670 mm with depth increasing to 1500 mm. Forced convection cooling moves 13,200 m³/h in the standard efficiency variant and 19,800 m³/h in the high efficiency variant — the airflow path must be clear in the installation room. Acoustic noise level is 80 dB, so ear protection is warranted near the drive during operation.
Standards compliance and environmental limits
CE marked and compliant with 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. Operating altitude is 1000-2000 m with current derating of 0.6 % per 100 m above 1000 m. Relative humidity range is 0-90 % (0-95 % optional). Operating position is vertical ±10 degrees. Vibration resistance is 4.9 m/s² at 10-50 Hz. The enclosure colour is grey RAL 7032.
Current production — sourcing posture
The drive comprises a phase-shifting transformer, medium voltage arrestors, cooling fans, human machine interface, and 18 power cells — all factory-integrated in the floor-standing enclosure.
