Rated for 45 kW or 60 hp on standard asynchronous motors, this ATV212HD45N4LCD draws 83.8 A at 380 V and 65.9 A at 480 V line current — the lower figure at 480 V is the one to size the input feeder and upstream protection for in North America. The integrated Class C2 EMC filter means it meets EN 61800-3 Category C2 conducted emissions limits out of the box for industrial environments — no external filter needed for most second-environment (industrial mains) installations.
Protection coverage and fieldbus — what the drive watches and how it talks
The drive monitors itself and the motor for overcurrent, overvoltage on the DC bus, input phase loss, short-circuit between motor phases, earth faults, overheating, and motor thermal protection including PTC probe input — all built in, no add-on module for basic motor protection. Serial communication is 2-wire RS-485 Modbus RTU at 9600 or 19200 bps, with addressing from 1 to 247 — sufficient for most PLC-to-drive links without a fieldbus gateway, though the LonWorks option card is available if the site uses that backbone.
Mounting and environment — panel fit and site conditions
Dimensions are 550 mm high, 240 mm wide, 244 mm deep — a tall, relatively narrow footprint that fits a standard 600 mm deep enclosure with clearance for the top cable entry and heatsink airflow of 429 m³/h. Operating position is vertical within ±10°, altitude derating starts above 1000 m (1 % per 100 m up to 3000 m, with a 2000 m limit for corner-grounded distribution networks), and ambient conditions cover 5–95 % humidity without condensation — standard for indoor industrial panels.
