Product details

Overview

The ATV12HU30M3 is a Schneider Altivar 12 adjustable-frequency AC drive, rated for 3 kW output at 240 V AC on a three-phase input, delivering 12.2 A output current. It is cabinet-mounted with an integral heat sink, carries an IP20 enclosure, and includes on-board Modbus communication. The drive is marked CE and listed under UL 508C and UL 61800-5-1.

This drive controls the speed and torque of a 3-phase induction motor by varying output frequency and voltage. The 240 V AC three-phase input is rectified and inverted to a variable-frequency output up to 60 Hz. Rated output current of 12.2 A supports a 4 HP motor at 240 V. Control is via the keypad, Modbus serial link, or a remote keypad — the Modbus port uses 8-bit data frames with configurable parity. The drive includes 2 analog inputs and 4 discrete inputs for start/stop and speed reference, plus 1 analog and 2 discrete outputs for status feedback. The heat sink style dissipates thermal load without forced air, keeping the drive suitable for cabinet mounting. Shock rating of 15 gn for 11 ms per IEC 60068-2-27 and vibration tolerance of 10 m/s² at 13–200 Hz ensure reliable operation on machinery subject to mechanical stress.

Applications

The Altivar 12 series is designed for simple machine applications — conveyors, fans, pumps, mixers, and packaging equipment — where basic speed control and Modbus connectivity are sufficient. The 3 kW rating fits small to medium motor loads in material handling, food processing, and light industrial machinery.

The ATV12HU30M3 is a mid-power three-phase drive in the Altivar 12 family. It is specified for applications needing Modbus and basic I/O without advanced features.

The ATV12HU30M3 is an active production model in the Altivar 12 line. Compliance documentation includes CE marking, UL 508C, UL 61800-5-1, IEC 61800-5-1, and IEC 61800-3 standards, plus California Proposition 65. No end-of-life notice or successor has been issued by Schneider for this order code.
