Product details

11 kW / 15 hp at 480 V — the Altivar 212 mid-range VFD

The ATV212HD11N4LCD is a Schneider Electric Altivar 212 AC drive rated for 11 kW (15 hp) motor output at 480 V supply. It draws 16.8 A line current at 480 V and 21.1 A at 380 V, so the supply-side protection and cable sizing follow the higher figure when running on a 400 V-class network. This is the mid-functionality tier in the Altivar 212 family — not the basic economy variant, but not the full-featured top end either. It targets standard asynchronous motor control in HVAC pumping, fan, and conveyor applications where adjustable PI regulation and built-in protection cover the common fault modes without an external controller.

Integrated C2 EMC filter — what it means for installation

The drive ships with a Class C2 EMC filter integrated, compliant with IEC 61800-3 environments 2 category C2 and EN 61800-3 environments 1 category C1. In practice this means the drive meets conducted emission limits for industrial power networks (second environment) without an external filter, and in a first-environment (residential/commercial) installation it still meets the C1 limit — a wider installation envelope than a bare drive without the filter. The full standards list covers IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), EN 55011 Class A Group 1, and multiple C1/C2/C3 categories across both environments. If your site requires UL Type 1 enclosure compliance, that is also on the nameplate — the drive is rated for that installation type as shipped.

Protection coverage and fieldbus interface

Protection extends beyond the drive itself: it covers overheating, short-circuit between motor phases, overcurrent between output phases and earth, DC bus overvoltage/undervoltage, input phase loss, and motor thermal protection with PTC probe input. That means a single ATV212 can replace a drive-plus-external-relay combination in many panel designs — the PTC input is on the control terminal block, not an option card. The standard serial interface is 2-wire RS-485 with Modbus RTU protocol, configurable at 9600 or 19200 bps, 8-bit data, 1 stop bit, parity selectable. Addressing supports 1 to 247 nodes, so it integrates into a multi-drive Modbus network without an extra gateway. An optional LonWorks communication card is listed for building automation networks that require that protocol.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for this drive?

The drive carries CE marking and complies with IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), EN 61800-3 (EMC) across multiple environment categories, EN 55011 Class A Group 1, and UL Type 1 enclosure rating. The integrated C2 EMC filter covers both industrial and first-environment installations without an external filter.
