The ATV950U55N4 is a Schneider Electric Altivar Process ATV900 variable speed drive rated for 5.5 kW normal duty and 4.0 kW heavy duty on a 380...480 V three-phase supply. It delivers 12.7 A continuous output at 4 kHz for normal duty, and 9.3 A at 4 kHz for heavy duty. The IP55 enclosure with integrated EMC filter and braking chopper makes it suited for standalone installation in process environments where dust and hose-down are present.
For heavy-duty cycles (e.g., extruders or crushers with higher starting torque), the drive derates to 9.3 A at the same switching frequency. IP55 means the drive withstands water jets and dust ingress — suitable for washdown areas in food-and-bev or chemical processing without a separate cabinet.
The drive carries CE marking and complies with UL 508C, IEC 61800-3 (EMC), IEC 61800-5-1 (safety), IEC 61000-3-12 (harmonic limits), IEC 60721-3 (environmental), IEC 61508, and IEC 13849-1 (functional safety). Integrated EMC filter meets conducted emission limits for industrial environments without an external filter in most installations.
Integration notes
Wall-mount enclosed assembly with screw terminals for line, motor, DC bus, and control wiring. Control terminals accept 0.5...1.5 mm²; power terminals accept 4...6 mm². Three option slots (A, B, C) accept communication modules for Profibus DP V1, PROFINET, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, CANopen, Ethernet Powerlink, plus digital/analog I/O and relay extension modules. Slot B also accepts encoder interface modules (digital 5/12 V, analog, resolver). Communication ports include EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and Modbus serial. The integrated braking chopper handles dynamic braking without an external module for applications requiring rapid deceleration or overhauling loads.
