Product details

Motor power and line current — normal vs heavy duty

The ATV6000C240A4242ND: Rated 1920 kW normal duty and 1540 kW heavy duty, with line current 333 A normal / 267 A heavy duty. The heavy-duty figure governs continuous overload capability for high-torque loads like crushers or mills; the normal-duty rating applies when the load profile stays below the motor's service factor.

24-pulse rectifier — THDI <3% without external filtering

The 24-pulse diode rectifier front end keeps total harmonic current distortion below 3% per IEEE 519-1992, so the drive meets utility power-quality limits without adding a separate harmonic filter. Power factor is 96%, which reduces the kVA draw from the upstream transformer.

Regulatory acceptance — cULus, CE, UKCA

Marked cULus, CE, and UKCA, with standards compliance to IEC 61800-3/-4/-5-1, IEC 60529, IEEE 519, and UL 347A. That covers North American and EU installation without a separate certification step — a practical advantage for a multinational project spec.

Floor-standing enclosure — plan the substation footprint

The drive ships in a floor-standing enclosure measuring 59.06 in deep, 199.2 in wide, and 108.3 in high. That footprint dictates the MCC room or substation layout — allow front and rear access clearance per the installation manual for cable entry and cooling airflow.
