Built-in disconnect switch and IP55 enclosure
The ATV650D15N4E: This ATV650 variant ships with an integrated disconnect switch, so the drive can be isolated locally for maintenance without an external disconnect upstream — a clean panel layout for a single-drive machine. No separate cabinet required.
31.7 A continuous output at 4 kHz — normal vs heavy duty
Rated 31.7 A continuous at 4 kHz carrier for normal duty (20 HP / 15 kW), and 23.5 A at 4 kHz for heavy duty (15 HP / 11 kW). The heavy-duty rating gives headroom for constant-torque loads like conveyors or extruders; normal duty suits variable-torque pumps and fans. Line current draw is 23.3 A at 480 V normal duty, 27 A at 380 V normal duty — size the branch circuit protection and input cable accordingly. The drive includes an integrated EMC filter: compliant with Category C2 at 50 m cable length, and Category C3 at 150 m.
STO SIL 3 and multi-protocol option slots
The STO function is the primary means for safe maintenance access on the driven load. Slot A accepts fieldbus option cards: PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, CANopen, Profibus DP V1, Ethernet Powerlink, or BACnet MS/TP. Slot A and slot B also accept digital/analog I/O extension or relay output cards. The drive ships with Modbus serial and Modbus TCP on the base board.
Wall-mount integration — cooling and derating
Wall-mount only (vertical ±10°), forced-convection cooled. At altitudes above 1000 m, derate 1 % per 100 m up to 4800 m. Pollution degree 3 environment — the drive is rated for industrial atmospheres with conductive dust or humidity. Overvoltage category III means it can be connected directly to the building distribution panel without additional surge suppression on the input.
Current production lifecycle stage — this ATV650 variant is an active catalog item from Schneider Electric.
