37 kW VFD for pump and fan duty
The ATV21HD37N4 is a 37 kW Altivar 21 AC drive from Schneider Electric, designed for variable-torque loads such as pumps and fans. It accepts a 380-480 V three-phase supply and delivers a line current of 54.4 A at 480 V (68.9 A at 380 V). The drive includes a built-in Class A EMC filter and carries CE marking, complying with IEC 61800-3 for EMC environments and IEC 61800-5-1 for safety. This simplifies panel integration in European and other CE-regulated markets.
Panel fit and mounting dimensions
The drive measures 21.7 inches high by 9.4 inches wide by 4.4 inches deep (550 x 240 x 113 mm). The vertical mounting orientation is specified within ±10 degrees. The assembly includes a heat sink for thermal management, and the enclosure is rated UL Type 1 for indoor use.
Switching frequency and torque capability
The switching frequency is adjustable from 6 to 16 kHz, with derating required above 8 kHz. This allows the user to trade off audible noise against thermal headroom. The drive delivers 120% transient overtorque for 60 seconds, which is useful for breakaway loads or short-duration overloads.
