The Schneider Electric ATV6000C213A6060NA3 is a medium-voltage variable speed drive from the Altivar Process ATV6000 series, built as a floor-standing enclosure. It drives synchronous, asynchronous, and permanent magnet motors up to 1700 kW under normal duty, or 1390 kW under heavy duty. The 30-pulse diode rectifier input keeps total harmonic current distortion below 3 % per IEEE 519-1992, which avoids the need for external harmonic filters on most utility grids.
Line current is rated 167 A for heavy duty and 205 A for normal duty. The normal-duty figure governs the continuous motor load; the heavy-duty figure applies when the drive must deliver overload torque for a defined period. Use the normal-duty number for the main feeder sizing. Apparent power is 2130 kVA, which sets the transformer and upstream breaker rating. Power losses run 73.9 kW at normal duty and 60.4 kW at heavy duty — figure those into the room's cooling capacity. The enclosure measures 4660 mm wide by 1500 mm deep by 2751 mm high. That footprint determines floor-space allocation and the swing clearance for the front doors. Cable entry is at the bottom.
Supply and control wiring
The control circuit accepts 100...240 V AC, 47...63 Hz, or 120...370 V DC. The auxiliary power supply runs on 230 V AC, and the cooling fan supply is 400 V AC. Digital inputs are 24 V DC, with an internal supply available for the reference potentiometer (10.5 V DC). Two RJ45 ports on the control block handle Ethernet IP and Modbus TCP; a third RJ45 handles Modbus serial. Slot A accepts communication modules for Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen, or EtherCAT. Slot B accepts encoder interface modules (5/12 V digital, analog, resolver, HTL). Both slots can also take digital/analog I/O extension or output relay extension modules.
Protection and compliance
The drive monitors line supply overvoltage, undervoltage, phase loss, DC bus overvoltage, transformer thermal overload, cabinet overheating, overcurrent, overload, short-circuit, IGBT faults, motor thermal protection, motor phase break, motor earth fault, control circuit break, and fan status. That covers nearly every failure mode a medium-voltage installation will see. Integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 for the control section and category C4 for the power section. Standards compliance includes IEC 61800-3, IEC 61800-4, IEC 61800-5-1, IEC 60529, IEEE 519:1992, and EN/IEC 60076. Markings are EAC and CE.
