The Schneider Electric ATV6000D390A3333NA3 is a medium-voltage drive from the Altivar Process ATV6000 series, rated for 390 kVA apparent power. It delivers 310 kW for normal-duty applications and 240 kW for heavy-duty cycles, making it a fit for pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors in process industries like water/wastewater, mining, and oil & gas.
The 18-pulse diode rectifier input keeps harmonic distortion under 3% THDI, meeting IEEE 519-1992 without external filters — a real advantage when the facility has strict power-quality requirements or sensitive equipment on the same bus. The drive draws 68.3 A line current at normal duty and 53 A under heavy duty; the 18-pulse topology also improves input power factor to 0.96, reducing upstream transformer and cable sizing compared to a 6-pulse drive of the same kVA. Output voltage follows the supply voltage (no internal boost), and the IGBT inverter cells use multilevel PWM for clean motor waveforms — important for long cable runs or existing motor insulation systems. The drive handles permanent-magnet, synchronous, and asynchronous motors, so it's not locked into one motor technology.
Integration notes for the controls engineer
The drive ships in an IP-rated floor-standing enclosure (2460 mm wide, 2537 mm tall, 1400 mm deep) with cable entry at the bottom. Cooling is forced convection; the enclosure includes cabinet overheating protection and fan monitoring. The control block has two RJ45 ports for Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP and one for Modbus serial, plus slot A for a choice of PROFIBUS DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen, or EtherCAT communication modules. Slot B accepts encoder interfaces (digital 5/12 V, analog, resolver, or HTL). The 10-inch LCD touch screen provides multi-language local control and parameter access.
