Product details

Motor power and harmonic performance

The ATV6000C125A4242ND: Rated 1000 kW normal duty / 950 kW heavy duty at the shaft, with a corresponding apparent power of 1250 kVA. The 24-pulse diode rectifier front end keeps total harmonic current distortion below 3 % per IEEE 519-1992 — no external harmonic filter needed for most utility compliance points.

Line current and input topology

Draws 174 A line current in normal duty, 165 A in heavy duty. The 24-pulse rectifier cancels the 5th and 7th harmonics at the input, which is what delivers the sub-3 % THDI figure — a significant advantage for installations where transformer sizing or upstream harmonic limits are tight.

Physical footprint and enclosure

Floor-standing enclosure measures 108.3 in high × 148.03 in wide × 55.1 in deep. The bottom cable entry and forced-convection cooling suit a dedicated drive room or outdoor-rated shelter; the 80 dB noise level means hearing protection is needed within the enclosure perimeter.

Marked CULus, CE, UKCA, so it ships into North American and UK markets without additional certification delays.
