Product details

Commissioning note

This ATV6A0M12T6 is a modular Altivar Process ATV600 drive sized for a 1200 hp motor at 600 V normal duty (1000 hp heavy duty), pulling 994 A line current normal and 835 A heavy. The integrated EMC filter meets Category C3 for cable runs up to 300 m, saving an external filter cabinet. Communication stack includes dual Ethernet ports (Modbus TCP) and a 2-wire RS-485 for Modbus serial RTU. The slot-A option bay accepts Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen, or Ethernet/IP; slot A/B also take digital/analog I/O or relay expansion. Safe torque off is SIL 3 rated. On the supply side, it operates from 50/60 Hz, adjustable switching frequency from 2 to 4.9 kHz with derating, and prospective line short-circuit current rated for 50 kA. Compliance includes IEC 61800-3, 61800-5-1, UL 61800-5-1, and pollution degree 2.

No last-time-buy or phase-out applies.

Cabinet integration

Cabinet mount. Power connections: line side screw terminal, motor M10 x 2 bars. Control wiring via removable screw terminals accepting 0.5–1.5 mm² (AWG 20–16). Vibration resistance: 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 2–13 Hz, 0.5 gn at 13–200 Hz (IEC 60068-2-6). Shock 4 gn for 11 ms (IEC 60068-2-27). Humidity range 5–95% non-condensing (IEC 60068-2-3). Forced convection cooling; ensure clearances per manual for airflow.
