The Schneider ATV6B0C20T4 is a current-production Altivar Process ATV600 drive in a modular cabinet-mount variant. It delivers 200 kW (300 hp) at 480 V under normal duty and 160 kW (250 hp) under heavy duty, drawing 292 A and 245 A line current respectively. The integrated EMC filter meets category C3 per IEC 61800-3, and the drive includes Safe Torque Off rated SIL 3.
Ratings that decide the install
The dual power rating governs both motor match and upstream protection. Heavy duty (160 kW) gives a 245 A line current for constant-torque loads like conveyors; normal duty (292 A) suits variable-torque fans and pumps. The switching frequency is adjustable 2.5–8 kHz, with derating above the factory default — something you'll want to set before commissioning if running high-speed spindle applications. The 50 kA prospective line Isc rating means this drive sits behind a breaker with at least that interrupting capacity. The 4 gn shock and 1.5 mm peak-to-peak vibration resistance are standard for industrial panel mounting — nothing exotic, but confirms you don't need extra isolation pads for typical floor vibration. Built-in Modbus serial and Ethernet ports handle 10/100 Mbit/s with auto-negotiation for Modbus TCP, plus the serial runs at selectable 4.8–38.4 kbit/s. Slot A accepts Profibus DP, PROFINET, DeviceNet, or CANopen option cards — that's where you route fieldbus integration without external gateways.
Compliance and standards scope
The drive carries CE marking and holds IEC 61800-3, 61800-5-1, 61000-3-12, 60721-3, 61508, and 13849-1 compliance. The STO function is SIL 3, meeting machine safety directive requirements. The integrated C3 EMC filter is sized for 300 m of cable, which covers the majority of industrial runs without an external filter. Pollution degree 2 suits normal factory environments — no chemical or conductive dust exposure needed.
