The ATV950C16N4F: Continuous output current is 302 A at 2.5 kHz switching frequency for normal duty; heavy duty drops to 250 A at the same carrier. If you push the carrier higher to quiet motor whine, you'll need to derate further — the 2.5 kHz figure is the baseline for full current. Supply voltage is 380-440 V three-phase — common 400 V class industrial mains. The drive includes an integrated EMC filter (with optional EMC plate) and meets IEC 61800-3 for conducted emissions in industrial environments.
Enclosure, mounting, and cooling — plan the cabinet space
IP54 protection means the drive handles dust and splashing water — fine for most indoor plant floors but not for washdown zones. Floor-standing mounting with vertical orientation (+/- 10°) is required; the unit pulls 720 m³/h of cooling air, so make sure the cabinet intake and exhaust are clear. Line and motor connections use M12 bar terminals; control wiring is on removable screw terminals accepting 0.5-1.5 mm². The three option slots (A, B, C) accept fieldbus modules (Profibus, PROFINET, EtherCAT, CANopen, DeviceNet, Ethernet Powerlink), encoder interfaces, and I/O or relay expansion — configure the drive to match your network before it ships.
Built-in control supply and safety features
The drive provides a 24 V DC internal supply for digital inputs and STO (safe torque off) — range 21-27 V — plus a separate 10.5 V reference for an external potentiometer (1-10 kOhm). That saves an external 24 V PSU for the control logic in many panels. An adjustable PID regulator is built in for closed-loop process control (pressure, flow, level). The drive also supports asynchronous and synchronous motors, so it covers induction and PM motor retrofits.
CE marked, designed to IEC 60204-1, IEC 61800-2/-3/-5-1. Pollution degree 2, overvoltage category III, and EMC immunity tested to level 3 (radiated/conducted) and level 4 (fast transients). Chemical resistance class 3C3 and dust class 3S3 per IEC 60721-3-3 — suitable for typical industrial atmospheres with moderate chemical exposure. Operating altitude up to 1000 m without derating, then 1 % current derating per 100 m up to 4800 m. Ambient temperature range is not explicitly listed in this summary, but the 720 m³/h airflow and IP54 enclosure suggest it's intended for a conditioned or ventilated electrical room.
