Product details

Motor power and harmonic performance

The ATV6000C150A4242ND: Rated 1200 kW normal duty and 960 kW heavy duty for asynchronous, synchronous, and permanent magnet motors — the heavy-duty figure governs continuous rating on pump, fan, or compressor loads where the drive runs at full nameplate. The 24-pulse diode rectifier input keeps total harmonic current distortion below 3 % per IEEE 519-1992, which means no external harmonic filter for most plant distribution systems — the drive itself cleans the line.

Physical footprint and what ships with it

Floor-standing enclosure, 108.3 in high × 148.03 in wide × 55.1 in deep — this is a dedicated drive room or large MCC footprint, not a wall-mount unit. Plan for forklift access and bottom cable entry. Ships with the phase-shifting transformer, power cells, cooling fans, plinth, and a 10-inch LCD touchscreen HMI — the drive arrives as a complete system, not a bare chassis.

The 24-pulse topology and integrated transformer make this a specialized medium-voltage drive; availability is quoted to order against the BOM quantity through independent distribution. Carries cULus, CE, and UKCA markings with compliance to IEC 61800-3, IEC 61800-5-1, and UL 347A — accepted in North American, European, and UK industrial installations without additional certification work.

Frequently asked questions

What motor types does ATV6000C150A4242ND support?

It drives asynchronous motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors, and standard synchronous motors — covers the three common industrial AC motor families.

What is the harmonic performance of this drive?

Total harmonic current distortion is below 3 % per IEEE 519-1992, achieved by the 24-pulse diode rectifier input without external filtering.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for ATV6000C150A4242ND?

The drive carries cULus, CE, and UKCA markings and complies with IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), and UL 347A (medium-voltage drives).
