Product details

The Schneider ATV6A0C16Q4 is a modular Altivar Process ATV600 drive sized for 160 kW normal duty (193 kVA) or 132 kW heavy duty (161 kVA) on a 400 V three-phase supply. It ships as a power module, control unit, mechanical mounting kit, and power connection set of fuses — not a standalone enclosure. The integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 Category C3 with up to 300 m of motor cable, which covers most industrial installations without an external filter. STO (Safe Torque Off) rated SIL 3 is on board, saving a separate safety relay. Normal duty (160 kW) suits variable-torque loads like pumps and fans; heavy duty (132 kW) is the constant-torque rating for conveyors, extruders, or compressors. The line current at 400 V is 278 A ND and 233 A HD, so the upstream protection and cabling must be sized accordingly.

The drive's control power comes from a separate 24 V DC supply (19...30 V) for the digital inputs, plus an internal 10.5 V (±5 %) supply for a 1 to 10 kΩ reference potentiometer. The STO and digital input supply also has its own 24 V DC rail (21...27 V, <200 mA) with overload and short-circuit protection. Plan a 24 V DC source that can deliver at least 200 mA for the logic alone. Communication is built in: two-wire RS-485 Modbus serial (RTU, selectable parity, 4.8–38.4 kbit/s) and a dual-port Ethernet switch for Modbus TCP/IP (10/100 Mbit/s, half/full duplex, auto-negotiation). Slot A accepts optional fieldbus modules: Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen. Slot A and slot B can also take digital/analog I/O or output relay extensions — good for adding local control without a separate PLC.

Compliance and environment

The drive carries CE marking and is designed to IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), IEC 61000-3-12 (harmonics, THDI <48 % at full load), IEC 60721-3 (environmental), IEC 61508, and ISO 13849-1 (functional safety). Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1. Shock resistance: 7 gn for 11 ms. Operating altitude up to 1000 m without derating, then 1 % per 100 m up to 4800 m. Relative humidity 5–95 % non-condensing.

Frequently asked questions

What supply voltages does the drive need for its control circuits?

The digital inputs require an external 24 V DC supply (19...30 V). There is also an internal 10.5 V DC ±5 % supply for a reference potentiometer (1–10 kΩ), and a separate internal 24 V DC rail (21...27 V, <200 mA) for digital inputs and STO, with overload and short-circuit protection.

What EMC filter configuration does this drive have?

The drive has an integrated EMC filter compliant with IEC 61800-3 Category C3 for motor cables up to 300 m. This covers most industrial installations without needing an external filter.

Does the ATV6A0C16Q4 support Safe Torque Off?

Yes, STO is built in and rated SIL 3 per IEC 61508 and ISO 13849-1. No separate safety relay is required for SIL 3 applications.

What compliance standards does the drive meet?

CE marked. Designed to IEC 61800-3, IEC 61800-5-1, IEC 61000-3-12, IEC 60721-3, IEC 61508, and ISO 13849-1. Pollution degree 2 conforming to IEC 61800-5-1.
