The ATV6000C210A4242ND is a medium-voltage AC drive from the Altivar Process ATV6000 series, rated for 1680 kW normal duty and 1340 kW heavy duty motor power, with an apparent power of 2100 kVA. Input is a 24-pulse diode rectifier bridge, which keeps total harmonic current distortion below 3 % per IEEE 519-1992 without external filtering — this is the key spec for sites with sensitive upstream equipment or utility-imposed harmonic limits. Output uses IGBT inverter cells with multilevel PWM topology, delivering output voltage up to the supply voltage level.
Physical footprint and what ships with it
The drive ships in a floor-standing enclosure measuring 108.3 in high by 159.8 in wide by 59.06 in deep — plan for a dedicated pad or plinth and front-access clearance for cable entry at the bottom. Included in the package are the medium-voltage arrestors, the phase-shifting transformer, power cells, cooling fans, the HMI, and the plinth — no separate transformer or line reactor procurement needed for the basic configuration. Power losses are 73.1 kW normal duty and 58.3 kW heavy duty — this heat must be removed by the forced-convection cooling system; the enclosure's ventilation path and ambient temperature must stay within the 5–95 % RH range without condensation.
Certifications and compliance documentation
The drive carries cULus, CE, and UKCA markings, and complies with IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-4, IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), IEC 60529 (enclosure), IEEE 519:1992 (harmonic), EN/IEC 60076 (transformer), and UL 347A (medium-voltage drive). Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1 — suitable for controlled environments inside electrical rooms; not for outdoor or wet-location installation without additional enclosure protection.
