Product details

The Schneider ATV6B0C16Q6 is a modular variable speed drive from the Altivar Process ATV600 series, sized for 160 kW at 690 V in heavy-duty motor duty and 122 A line current under the same condition — that's your load-fit anchor when commissioning a 690 V induction or synchronous motor. The integrated EMC filter meets IEC 61800-3 category C3 for industrial environments, so you can skip an external filter in most panel builds. Safe torque off (STO) at SIL 3 is built in, eliminating the need for a separate safety relay for that function.

Cabinet-mount only, forced convection cooling — ensure clearance for airflow. Pollution degree 2 environment expected. Electrical connections: line side via screw terminals, motor side via M10 bus bars (torque to manufacturer spec). Slot A accepts communication option cards for Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP/EtherNet/IP, or CANopen (RJ45, SUB-D, or screw terminals); slot A/B can host digital/analog I/O or relay extension modules. Commissioning engineer tip: the switching frequency is adjustable from 2 to 4.9 kHz with a derating factor, and the integrated EMC filter covers up to 300 m of motor cable at C3 level.

Frequently asked questions

What are its CE marking and key standards?

The drive carries CE marking and complies with IEC 61800-3, IEC 61800-5-1, IEC 61000-3-12, IEC 60721-3, IEC 61508, and IEC 13849-1.

What is the maximum motor power at 690 V heavy duty?

Rated 132 kW heavy duty and 160 kW normal duty at 690 V, with corresponding line currents of 122 A and 148 A.

Does it include safe torque off?

Yes, STO (safe torque off) at SIL 3 is integrated into the drive.
