Product details

Altivar 212 drive at 18.5 kW — what the ratings mean for your pump or fan

The ATV212WD18N4CZH28 is an Altivar 212 series AC drive rated 18.5 kW (25 hp) for asynchronous motors, with a line current draw of 27.6 A at 480 V and 34.5 A at 380 V. Its switching frequency is adjustable from 6 to 16 kHz, but above 8 kHz you need to derate the continuous output current — a key consideration if you're trying to quiet motor whine on a fan application. The drive includes an adjustable PI regulator loop, making it a natural fit for closed-loop pressure or flow control on pumps without an external controller.

Panel fit and mounting constraints

The enclosure measures 665 mm high by 310 mm wide by 315 mm deep, with a vertical mounting orientation required (within ±10 degrees). It ships with a heat sink assembly style, so ensure adequate clearance around the drive for airflow — the noise level is rated at 60.2 dB under 86/188/EEC.

Protection coverage and EMC compliance

The drive integrates a Class C1 EMC filter and meets IEC 61800-3 environments 1 category C1 and C2, as well as EN 55011 group 1 class B — meaning it's suitable for first-environment residential or light industrial installations without external filtering. Protection extends to overheating, short-circuit between motor phases, input phase loss, overcurrent to earth, DC bus overvoltage, and motor thermal protection including PTC probe input.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for this drive?

The drive carries CE marking and complies with IEC 61800-3, EN 61800-3, EN 55011 group 1 class B, and IEC 61800-5-1. An integrated Class C1 EMC filter is included.
